Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have potentially useful applications and an intriguing variety of architectures and topologies. Two homochiral coordination polymers have been synthesized by the hydrothermal method, namely poly[(μ‐ N ‐benzyl‐L‐phenylalaninato‐κ 4 O , O ′: O , N )(μ‐formato‐κ 2 O : O ′)zinc(II)], [Zn(C 16 H 16 NO 2 )(HCOO)] n , (1), and poly[(μ‐ N ‐benzyl‐L‐leucinato‐κ 4 O , O ′: O , N )(μ‐formato‐κ 2 O : O ′)zinc(II)], [Zn(C 13 H 18 NO 2 )(HCOO)] n , (2), and studied by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Compounds (1) and (2) each have a two‐dimensional layer structure, with the benzyl or isobutyl groups of the ligands directed towards the interlayer interface. Photoluminescence investigations show that both (1) and (2) display a strong emission in the blue region.
