Zinc(II) and Cadmium(II) Complexes Based on 4,5‐Di(4′‐carboxylphenyl)phthalic Acid Ligand: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Luminescent Properties

Abstract

4 (1,10-phen) 6 ]· 10H 2 O (3), were successfully synthesized by employing the 4,5-di(4Ј-carboxylphenyl)phthalic acid (H 4 ttca) and the corresponding metal salts to react with 1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)benzene (tib), 4,4Ј-bipyridine (4,4Ј-bipy) and 1,10-phenanthroline monohydrate (1,10-phen), respectively, under hydrothermal conditions. The structures were charac-
