Coordination
polymers with structurally designable and energy,
fluorescence, electrical etc. properties, are expected to become the next generation
of multifunctional materials. A new compound, Zn(OAc)SPhNH (HSPhNH2 = 4-aminophenol), was
hydrothermally synthesized using 4-aminophenol as template and balance anion.
The single-crystal X-ray diffraction showed a two-dimensional (2D)
structure constructed of Zn(OAc)+ and SPhNH-. This
compound exhibited typical semiconductive behavior, whose conductivity increased
with the raise of temperature. Moreover, the conductivity was positively
correlated with humidity. The compound also showed
blue light emission property, which indicates great potential applications in
light-emitting diodes.
