A one-dimensional zigzag chain complex of Cd(FA)(pyim)(H2O) (1) (H2FA=4,4′-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis(benzoic acid) and pyim=2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole) was hydrothermal synthesized from Cd(NO3)2·4H2O, 4,4′- (hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis (benzoic acid) and 2-(2-pyridyl)imidazole.

In complex 1,the coordination environment of Zn(Ⅱ) is distorted tetragonal-pyramid with N1O4 set. The 2D 4,4-topological sheets in 1 packed along a axis to form its 3D framework,which was stabilized by the π…π interactions between the adjacent aromatic rings on the neighbouring sheets. The photoluminescent property of 1 was also investigated.
