Two new mixed-ligand Zn(II) coordination polymers, namely {[Zn(dtb)(1,3-bdc)(H2O)2](H2O)}n (1) and {[Zn1.5(dtb)(1,3,5-btc)(H2O)5](H2O)}n (2) (dtb = 1,3-di-(1,2,4-triazole-4-yl)benzene, 1,3-H2bdc = 1,3- benzenedicarboxylic acid, 1,3,5-H3btc = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) are hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Both complexes display 1D chain structures. The thermal stabilities and luminescence properties of compounds 1 and 2 are also investigated. Crystal data: 1.
