A zinc(II) coordination polymer containing flumequine: Synthesis, crystal structure and luminescence properties

The compound [Zn2(flmq)2(bdc)(H2O)2], 1, based on flumequine (Hflmq) and 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (bdc), has been synthesised and shown by single crystal X-ray analysis to contain one-dimensional chains linked into sheets by hydrogen bonding. Photoluminescent measurements on the complex in the solid state show that it displays strong photoluminescence at 467 nm.
