Two new coordination polymers [Zn(L)(bib)] n (1) and [Zn(L)(bib) 0.5 ] n (2) [L = 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid and bib = 1,4-bis(2-methyl-imidazol-1-yl)butane] have been synthesized and characterized. X-ray single crystal diffractions show that complex 1 is a 2D layered structure and complex 2 is a 3D 6-connected topological net. Complex 1 are further assembled into a 3D supramolecular structure by intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Complex 2 features a two-fold interpenetrated pcu topology. Moreover, the fluorescent properties of complexes 1 and 2 were studied in the solid state at room temperature.
