Syntheses, crystal structures, and luminescent properties of three novel zinc coordination polymers with tetrazolyl ligands

The syntheses and luminescent properties of three novel zinc coordination polymers containing tetrazolyl ligands are described. By employing the in situ Demko-Sharpless [2+3] cycloaddition synthesis, reactions of acetonitrile or p-tolylnitrile with sodium azide in the presence of zinc perchlorate as a Lewis acid under hydrothermal condition gave [Zn(CH3CN4)2]3(H2O) and [Zn(4-MPTZ)2] in good yields.
