Abstract
A new pyridine-2-carboxylic acid complex, [Cu(2-PyCOOH)2(H2O)2]Cl2, has been prepared in situ through a hydrothermal reaction and its structure comprises discrete [Cu(2-PyCOOH)2(H2O)2]2+ cations and chloride anions which are interlinked via hydrogen bonding interactions to give a 3-D supramolecular motif. Photoluminescent study shows that the complex exhibits an emission in the blue region. Theoretical studies reveal that the emission can be ascribed to metal-to-ligand charge transfer.
