The chiral Zn(Il)-Na(I) coordination polymer: Synthesis, crystal structure, thermal and optical properties

Abstract

The chiral Zn(Il)-Na(I) coordination polymer with formula [NaZn(acac)(2)(AcO)(EtOH)] (1) has been synthesized, and characterized by H-1 NMR and FT-IR spectra, elemental, X-ray, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). X-ray crystallographic study revealed that I crystallizes in the non -centrosymmetric space groups P2(1)2(1)2(1) and exhibits a one-dimensional polymer chain. Linear optical properties were investigated by UV/Vis spectrophotometer techniques. Kurtz-Perry powder second-harmonic-generation (SHG) test confirms the non-linear optical (NLO) property of the grown crystal. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
