Abstract

Self-assembly of ZnX2 (X = ClO4 and CF3SO3 ) with naphthalene-2,6-diyl-diisonicotinate (L) gives rise to the 2D sheet structures with composition of [ZnL2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·H2O and [ZnL2(CF3SO3)2], respectively. [ZnL2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·H2O is packed in an interpenetration mode, whereas [ZnL2(CF3SO3)2] exists as a simple 2D network in the crystalline solid state. These two crystals have been employed as hetero-catalysts for transesterification reactions of phenylacetate with alcohol. The catalytic effect on the transesterification reaction shows the order of [ZnL2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·H2O > Zn(CF3SO3)2 > [ZnL2(OTf)2] > Zn(ClO4)2, which indicate that molecular packing is an important factor in the catalysis.
