Two novel zinc coordination polymers [Zn{sub 2}(H{sub 2}O)L(MoO{sub 4})]{sub n} (1) and [Zn{sub 4}(PO{sub 4}){sub 2}L'(H{sub 2}O)]{sub n} (2) (H{sub 2}L=2,2'-bipyridine-6.6'-dicarboxylic acid, H{sub 2}L'=2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, UV spectra, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analyses. Structural analyses indicate that 1 represents a 2-D sheet structure built by dimeric [Zn{sub 2}L(H{sub 2}O)]{sup 2+} units and MoO{sub 4}{sup 2-} groups whereas 2 displays an interesting 3-D framework constructed by tetranuclear zinc clusters, L'{sup 2-} ligands and PO{sub 4}{sup 3-} groups. Examination of UV spectra suggests that both 1 and 2 can stably exist in the pH range of 2.45-5.45 and 3.01-8.55 in aqueous solution, respectively. The room-temperature solid-state photoluminescence of 1 and 2 are derived from the intra-ligands {pi}-{pi}* transitions of H{sub 2}L and H{sub 2}L' ligands and the ligand-to-metal-charge-transfer transitions. - Graphical Abstract: Two new transition metal coordination polymers, namely, [Zn{sub 2}(H{sub 2}O)L{sub 1}(MoO{sub 4})]{sub n} (1), [Zn{sub 4}(PO{sub 4}){sub 2}L{sub 2}(H{sub 2}O)]{sub n} (2) (H{sub 2}L{sub 1}=2,2'-bipyridine-6,6'-dicarboxylic acid, H{sub 2}L{sub 2}=2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) have been hydrothermally synthesized. 1 represents a 2-D sheet structure while 2 represents 3-D network.
