Two coordination polymers, [Ni(bim)2(L1)(H2O)2]n (CP-1) and [Zn(bim)(L1)(Cl)]n (CP-2) (bim = 1-benzylimidazole, L1 = terephthalic acid), were synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The Ni(II) center in CP-1 is octahedral, while the Zn(II) center in CP-2 is tetrah...
