Abstract

One new pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylhydrazidate-coordinated compound [Zn(pdh)] 1 (pdh = pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylhydrazidate) was obtained under the hydrothermal conditions. Noteworthily, the pdh molecules in the title compound originated from the ligand in situ reaction between organic pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylic acid (pdca) and N2H4·H2O. X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis revealed that the pdh ligands exhibit a special μ4-bridging mode in compound 1, which link Zn(II) centers into a 2D layered structure. The photocatalysis analysis indicates that it is a potential visible light catalyst. In addition, the solid photoluminescence property of compound 1 was also investigated.
