Four coordination polymers including, [Co(µ-Htbip){sub 2}(µ-dib)]{sub n} (1), [Co(µ-tbip)(µ-dmib){sub 0.5}]{sub n} (2), [Zn{sub 2}(µ-tbip)(µ{sub 3}-tbip)(µ-dmib){sub 1.5}]{sub n} (3) and [Cd(µ{sub 3}-tbip)(µ-dib){sub 0.5} (H{sub 2}O)]{sub n} (4) (tbip: 5-tert-butylisophthalate, dib: 1,4-bis(imidazol-1yl)benzene, dmib: 1,4-bis(imidazol-1yl)-2,5-dimethylbenzene), were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis (TG/DTA). The structural diversity is observed depending on ligands and coordination number of metal centers in the synthesized complexes. The tbip ligand displayed five different coordination modes in its complexes. In 1 and 2, complex 1 is 3D framework with the dia topology while complex 2 has 2D structure with the sql topology depending on coordination geometries of Co ions. Complex 3 is 3D framework with the fsh 4,6-conn topology and complex 4 has 2D 4-connected sql topology. Photoluminescent properties of complex 3 dispersed in various organic solvents were investigated and the results showed that 3 dispersed in methanol could be used as a fluorescent sensor for the detection of acetone. Moreover, thermal and optical properties of the complexes were also studied. - Graphical abstract: Four coordination polymers were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by various techniques.
