Abstract

A novel blue luminescent [Zn(L)(CN)2] complex (L = 2,2′-dipyridylamine) is synthesized and characterized by an X-ray diffraction study; the crystal packing in the Zn complex reveals that the molecules self-assemble by intermolecular hydrogen bonds [N-H⋯N≡C distance = 2.965(7) Å] and face-to-face π=π aromatic stacking interactions to form two-dimensional sheets.
