Abstract
Two new coordination polymers, {(NH2(CH3)2)2[Zn2(bipy)(SO4)3]} n (1) and [Ni(phen)(SO4)(H2O)2] n (2) (bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized by using metal sulfate, nitrogen-containing ligands, and different template agents under solvothermal conditions and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 1 exhibits binuclear units and SO4 2− connect two Zn(ii) ions’ centers. It shows 2D layer structure and further extends into 3D supramolecular framework by N–H⋯S hydrogen bonds. Moreover, 2 possesses a 1D double-chain structure and form 2D layer by hydrogen-bonding interactions. And we further explored the infrared (IR) of 1 and 2 and luminescent properties of 1.

1 Introduction
Coordination polymers (CPs) are synthesized by metal ions or metal clusters connected by organic/inorganic linkers [1,2], which have attracted considerable interest during the past few decades [3], not only because they combine the advantages of inorganic and organic materials [4,5] but also their fascinating aesthetical architecture structures and their potential applications in the field of catalysis [6,7], batteries [8], gas storage and separation [9,10], chemical sensing [11], magnetism, and so on [12]. As a family special class of crystalline materials [13,14], CPs can be constructed through two types of interactions: coordinate covalent bonds and weak interactions, such as π–π stacking interaction and hydrogen bond [15,16,17]. CPs can extend into 1D, 2D, or 3D structures through several of the interactions described above [18]. However, it is still of difficulty to predict the architectures of final material of CPs [19]. Structural indeterminacy results from many subtle conditions related to the crystallization process, such as organic ligands, metal ions, pH, solvent system, temperature, and so on [20]. Therefore, through reasonable selection and modification of metal ions and organic ligands, it is expected to obtain CPs with target structures and properties [21,22]. In this situation, d10 metal ions have been frequently used because of their close-shell configuration, e.g., Zn and Cd [23]. Sulfate is also a very interesting anion for the architecture of hydrogen bond networks because it easily forms strong hydrogen bonds [24]. Owing to their prominent binding ability, containing nitrogen ligands are important linkers in the process of synthesizing CPs, such as 4,4′-bipy and 1,10-phen are privileged as they produce aromatic π–π stacking interaction that gives stability to supramolecular assembly [25].
Herein, we report two novel CPs based on 4,4′-bipy or 1,10-phen ligands under solvothermal conditions, which are named {(NH2(CH3)2)2[Zn2(bipy)(SO4)3]} n (1) and [Ni(phen)(SO4)(H2O)2] n (2), meanwhile 3-carboxy-1-carboxymethyl-2-oxidopyridinium or 3-(carboxymethoxy)-2-naphthoic acid serves as a formulating agent in the reaction but they do not coordinate with the metal ions. Their syntheses, structural characterizations, and characterizations are explored in details below.

Coordination environment of the Zn(ii) ion of 1 (symmetry codes: ⅲ x, y, z + 1, ⅳ x − 1, y, z).
Two SO4 2− connect two Zn(ii) ions to generate [Zn2(SO4)2] bimetallic ring construction (Zn1⋯Zn2 = 4.425 Å). Adjacent [Zn2(SO4)2] bimetallic rings are further linked via the third SO4 2− generating a 1D chain with the Zn2⋯Zn1 distance of 5.618 Å (Figure 2). In Figure 2, the 4,4′-bipy ligands connect adjacent 1D chains to yield a 2D layer (Zn1⋯Zn2 = 11.080 Å) and dimethylamine cation located on both sides of the 1D chain. Moreover, the 2D layer are further extended into a 3D supramolecular structure by N–H⋯S (N(3)-H(3B)⋯S(2) and N(4)-H(4B)⋯S(3)) hydrogen bonds interactions (Figure 3). The 3D supramolecular structure is further stabilized by other hydrogen bonds (N(3)-H(3 A)⋯O(8)ⅷ; N(3)-H(3B)⋯O(6); N(4)-H(4 A)⋯O(10)ⅹ and N(4)-H(4B)⋯O(11), symmetric code: ⅷ −x + 1, −y, −z + 1; ⅹ −x + 1, −y + 1, −z) (Table 1).

2 crystallizes in monoclinic crystal system, C2/c space group. As seen in Figure 4, there are one crystallographically independent Ni(ii) ions, one SO4 2– ligands, two coordinated water molecules, and one phenanthroline. The Ni(ii) center is in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry and six coordinated by two nitrogen atoms (N1 and N1i) of phen, two oxygen atoms (O1 and O1i) of two different coordinated water molecules, and two oxygen atoms (O2 and O2i) of two SO4 2– ligands. The Ni–O distances are in the range of 2.0539(12)–2.151(2) Å, and the Ni–N distance is 2.0573(15) Å.

As illustrated in Figure 5, these octahedrons are further connected by the SO4 2– ligands together, resulting in a 1D infinite chain structure extending along crystallographic b axis with the Ni–Ni separation of 6.547 Å. The 1D chain structure is also further consolidated through the face-to-face π–π stacking interactions between neighboring phenanthrolines with the centroid-to-centroid distance of 4.019(3). As shown in Figure 6, it is noteworthy that the intermolecular hydrogen bonds (O(1W)–H(1B)⋯O(1)iii, symmetric code: iii x, -y, z-1/2, as seen in Table 1) exist between oxygen atoms from the SO4 2– ligands and the coordinated water molecules, which connected the adjacent 1D chains into a 2D layered structure. Furthermore, the intramolecular hydrogen bonds further stabilized the two-dimensional structure of 2.

2.2 Luminescent properties
CPs constructed by the d10 metal centers and conjugated organic ligands are advantageous for constituting luminescent material. Thus, the solid phase luminescent spectra of 1 and 4,4′-bipy were measured at ambient temperature. In Figure 7, 4,4'-bipy exhibited a characteristic emission bands centered at 419 nm (λ ex = 343 nm), which can be attributed to the π*–π transition. 1 displayed a similar emission with 4,4′-bipy, the emission peak of 1 occurs at 421 nm (λ ex = 358 nm) [26,27]. Thus, the emission of 1 could be owing to the 4,4′-bipy.

3 Conclusion
In this study, we have successfully synthesized two novel CPs, and their structures and characters were studied. 1 displays binuclear units and each Zn ion is four-coordinated, which exhibit the [ZnNO3] distorted triangular cone geometry. 1 generated a 1D chain via the sulfate-bridge, and the 4,4′-bipy ligands connect adjacent 1D chains to yield a 2D layer which further extended into a 3D supramolecular network. 2 is six-coordinated and shows distorted octahedral coordination geometry. 2 possesses a 1D chain structure by sulfate-bridge and the adjacent 1D chains are connected by one π–π interactions into 1D double-chain structure which further extended into 2D layered structure through the hydrogen-bonding interactions. 1 shows a strong emission peak when excited, so it can be used as a potential fluorescent material.

4.2 IR spectrum
The IR spectra of 1 and 2 are measured to characterize the functional groups. As seen in Figure S1, the absorption band of 1 at 3,425 cm–1 can be attributed to the N–H bond stretching. The absorption band of 2 at 3,327 cm–1 can be attributed to the O–H bond stretching vibrations of the water molecules. 1 and 2 absorption peaks residing at around 3,059 cm–1 is weak and can be ascribed to the C–H bond stretching vibrations of the pyridyl and phen rings. The bands of 1 and 2 appearing at 1,625–1,567 cm–1 are attributed to the ring vibration [ν(C═C) and ν(C═N)]. The bands of 1 and 2 located, respectively, at 1,414 and 1,427 cm–1 are attributed to the stretching vibrations of ν(C–N). The absorption bands of 1 residing at 1,305 cm–1 can be attributed to the N–H bond bending vibrations on the pyridyl rings of 4,4′-bipy. The absorption bands of 2 residing at 918–617 cm–1 can be attributed to the C–H bond bending vibrations on the phen rings.
