Ligands based on polycarb­oxy­lic acids are excellent building blocks for the construction of coordination polymers; they may bind to a variety of metal ions and form clusters, as well as extended chain or network structures. Among these building blocks, bi­phenyl­tetra­carb­oxy­lic acids (H4bpta) with C2 symmetry have recently attracted attention because of their variable bridging and multidentate chelating modes. The new luminescent three-dimensional coordination polymer poly[(μ5-1,1′-biphenyl-2,2′,4,4′-tetra­carboxyl­ato)bis­[μ2-1,4-bis­(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene]­dizinc(II)], [Zn2(C16H6O8)(C12H10N4)]n, was synthesized solvothermally and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. The crystal structure contains two crystallographically independent ZnII cations. Both metal cations are located on twofold axes and display distorted tetra­hedral coordination geometries. Neighbouring ZnII centres are bridged by carboxyl­ate groups in the synanti mode to form one-dimensional chains. Adjacent chains are linked through 1,1′-biphenyl-2,2′,4,4′-tetra­carboxyl­ate and 1,4-bis­(1H-imidazol-1-yl)benzene ligands to form a three-dimensional network. In the solid state, the compound exhibits blue photo­luminescence and represents a promising candidate for a thermally stable and solvent-resistant blue fluorescent material.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
