Ky. Ho et al., A BLUE PHOTOLUMINESCENT [ZN(L)(CN)(2)] (L = 2,2'-DIPYRIDYLAMINE) MATERIAL WITH A SUPRAMOLECULAR ONE-DIMENSIONAL CHAIN STRUCTURE, Chemical communications, (19), 1998, pp. 2101-2102
A novel blue luminescent [Zn(L)(CN)(2)] complex (L = 2,2'-dipyridylami
ne) is synthesized and characterized by an X-ray diffraction study; th
e crystal packing in the Zn complex reveals that the molecules self-as
semble by intermolecular hydrogen bonds [N-H ... N=C distance = 2.965(
7) Angstrom] and face-to-face pi-pi aromatic stacking interactions to
form two-dimensional sheets.
