Abstract

The three-dimensional chiral helical framework of the four-coordinate zinc complexes, [Zn(bdt)]n (1a and 1b) (H2bdt = 1,4-benzeneditetrazol-5-yl), has been prepared via hydrothermal reaction. At the chiral centers, the tetrahedral zinc centers link with bdt ligands to form a chiral unc-type network, which exhibits an intense blue emission and spontaneous chiral resolution. The enantiomers of 1a and 1b have been confirmed by solid-state circular dichroism spectra.
