Three novel Zn(II)-based coordination polymers (Zn-CPs), namely {[Zn(1,3,5-tib) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ·2(NO 3)} n (1), [Zn(1,3,5-tib)(4,4′-saba)] n (2), and {[Zn(1,3-bit)(4,4′-cpmb)]·0.5(1,3-bit)} n (3), have been hydrothermally synthesized and successfully characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (1,3,5-tib ​= ​1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)benzene), 4,4′-Hsaba ​= ​4-(4-sulfoacid)-benzoic acid, 1,3-bit ​= ​1,3-bis(l-imidazoly)toluene, and 4,4′-H 2 cpmb ​= ​4-(4-carboxylphenylmethylthio)benzoic acid). Structural analysis reveals that complex 1 manifests a 2D planar structure with an unprecedented (2,4)-c topological network. Complex 2 and complex 3 display a 3-c fes and 6-fold classical Ia interpenetrated dia framework with 4-c (66) sqc6 topology framework, respectively. Among the three complexes, CPs 1 and 2 demonstrate excellent performance for Azo organic dyes' adsorption, for which the selectivity and kinetics have been comprehensively studied. CPs 3 shows great luminescent intensity in aqueous solution. It is further applied as a fluorescence sensor to detect Fe3+ cation, Cr 2 O 7 2− anion, and tetracycline antibiotic. Three Zn(II) coordination polymers (Zn-CPs), {[Zn(1,3,5-tib) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ·2(NO 3)} n (1), [Zn(1,3,5-tib)(4,4′-saba)] n (2), and {[Zn(1,3-bit)(4,4′-cpmb)]·0.5(1,3-bit)} n (3), have been hydrothermally prepared. While 1 – 2 could be applied as a CR dye adsorbent, and 3 could be as a potential sensing material for detection of Fe3+, Cr 2 O 7 2−, and TC. Image 1 • Three new Zn (II) coordination polymers (Zn-CPs) have been hydrothermally prepared and characterized. • Complexes 1 – 2 could selectively removal CR dye molecule from aqueous solution. • Complex 3 could be used to detect Fe3+, Cr 2 O 7 2−, and TC with high selectivity, anti-interference, and repeat-ability.
