Battlement-shaped 1D coordination polymer based on a bis(N-methylimidazole-2-yl)butadiyne ligand

Abstract

Bis(N-methylimidazole-2-yl)butadiyne (bmib) has been prepared starting from N-methylimidazole following two different pathways. Bmib fluoresces and is capable of forming 1D coordination polymers by clamping together metal units. The molecular structure of a zinc coordination polymer based on bmib and zinc acetate resembles a battlement of a fortress.
