Hydrothermal reaction between 1,4-phenylenediacetic acid(H2PDA) and Zn(NO3)2·6H2O at the presence of the second ligand of 1,2-bis((1H-imidazol-1-yl) methyl)benzene(obix) yields a new 2D metal-organic coordination polymer [Zn(PDA)(obix)](1),which has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction,elemental analysis,IR spectroscopy and thermal analysis.Complex 1 presents a two-dimensional(2D) sheet structure and displays strong luminescent emission at room temperature.CCDC:716984.
