FULL PAPER Synthesis, Structural Characterization and Properties of Copper(II) and Zinc(II) Coordination Polymers with a New Bridging Chelating Ligand Guo-Ping Yong,[a] Zhi-Yong Wang,*[a] and Yong Cui[a] Keywords: Coordination polymers / Copper / N,O ligands / Zinc Two new coordination polymers [Cu (cpida) (H O) ] ·4nH O nate open and closed channels along the a direction. The 3 2 2 4 n 2 (1) and [Zn(Hcpida)] ·nH O (2) have been synthesized with dehydation and rehydration experiments showed that com- n 2 a new bridging chelating ligand N-(4-carboxyphenyl)imino- pound 2 undergoes a reversible inclusion process to some diacetic acid (H cpida). X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that extent.
