Abstract

Isostructural Zn(II)/Cd(II) mixed ligand coordination polymers (CPs) {[M(IPA)(L)]}n (CP1 and CP2) built from isophthalic acid (H2IPA) and 3-pyridylcarboxaldehyde nicotinoylhydrazone (L) were prepared using versatile synthetic routes: viz., diffusion of precursor solutions, conventional reflux methods, and green mechanochemical (grinding) reactions. Both robust CPs synthesized by different routes were characterized by various analytical methods, and their thermal and chemical stability as well as the phase purity was established. Crystallographic studies revealed that CP1 and CP2 are isostructural frameworks and feature a double-lined two-dimensional network composed of Zn(2+)/Cd(2+) nodes connected through IPA and pillared by the Schiff base ligand L with a double-walled edge. The photoluminescent (PL) properties of CP1 and CP2 have been exploited as dual detection fluorosensors for hexavalent chromate anions (CrO4(2-)/Cr2O7(2-)) and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (TNP) because it was observed that the emission intensity of aqueous suspensions of CPs selectively quenches by chromate anions or TNP among large pools of different anions or nitro compounds, respectively. Competitive experiments in the presence of interfering anions/other nitro compounds also revealed no major effect in the quenching efficiency, suggesting the selective detection of hexavalent chromate anions as well as TNP by the LCPs. The limits of detection by CP1 for CrO4(2-)/Cr2O7(2-) and TNP are 4 ppm/4 ppm and 28 ppb, respectively, whereas the limits of detection by CP2 for the same analytes are 1 ppm/1 ppm and 14 ppb, respectively. A probable mechanism for the quenching phenomena is also discussed.

Zinc Bohr ModelThe zinc atom has a radius of 134 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 210 pm. Zinc was discovered by Indian metallurgists prior to 1000 BC and first recognized as a unique element by Rasaratna Samuccaya in 800. Zinc was first isolated by Andreas Marggraf in 1746. In its elemental form, zinc has a silver-gray appearance. It is brittle at ordinary temperatures but malleable at 100 °C to 150 °C.Elemental Zinc It is a fair conductor of electricity, and burns in air at high red producing white clouds of the oxide. Zinc is mined from sulfidic ore deposits. It is the 24th most abundant element in the earth's crust and the fourth most common metal in use (after iron, aluminum, and copper). The name zinc originates from the German word "zin," meaning tin.
