Abstract: The title coordination polymer, [Zn(L)(1,4-BDC)]n(1) (L=2-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline and 1,4-H2BDC=1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid) has been synthesized by hydrothermal method and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a=0.970 85(16) nm, b=1.076 98(18) nm, c=1.203 6(2) nm, α=63.894(2)°, β=69.051(2)°, γ=80.427(2)°, V=1.055 4(3) nm3, Z=2, C27H15FN4O4Zn, Mr=543.80, Dc=1.711 g·cm-3, F(000)=552, μ(Mo Kα)=1.220 mm-1, R=0.037 2 and wR=0.084 4. The 1,4-BDC ligands linked the Zn(Ⅱ) atoms to form a two-dimensional layer structure. The π-π stacking interactions between L ligands extended the adjacent layers into a three-dimensional supramolecular network. Finally, the N-H…O hydrogen bonds further stabilizes the structure of 1.
