Growth and characterization studies of a novel luminescent acetate-bridged barium(II) complex: poly[(μ-diacetato)(tetraphthalato)pentabarium(II)]

Abstract

A novel coordination polymer, poly[(μ-diacetato)(tetraphthalato)pentabarium(II)], with acetate bridged moiety has been successfully grown by gel diffusion technique. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the compound crystallizes in triclinic space group P1̅. The grown crystals were further characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-visible spectroscopic analysis, and thermogravimetric and powder X-ray diffraction studies. The photoluminescent properties of the complex and the ligand were also investigated.
