Recent research has focused on molecules with different aromatic nitrogen-containing moieties coupled to a biphenyl core, as an effective approach for the assembly of coordination polymers. This study presents the synthesis and characterization of new ligands based on 1,1′-(3,3′-dimethoxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-diyl)bis(4-butyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole) (L1) and 1,1′-(3,3′-dimethoxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-diyl)bis(4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole) (L2) and their coordination polymers with Cu(II) and Zn(II). An unexpected coordination polymer with Cu(I) starting from Cu(II) was obtained in the case of the L2 ligand. The ligands and metal complexes underwent thorough characterization, including X-ray diffraction, NMR-, FTIR-, MS-spectrometry, and EPR, XPS, and TG-DTG analyses. While the ligand L2 generated a linear Cu(I) polymer, the ligand L1 formed a zigzag polymer with both copper and zinc.
