Solvothermal　reaction　of　Pb(NO3)(2)center　dot　6H(2)O　with　rigid　linear　ligand　terephthalic　acid　(H(2)pta)　in　N,N-dimethylformamide　(DMF)　produced　a　new　three-dimensional　(3D)　lead(II)　coordination　polymer　[Pb-2(pta)(1.5)(mu(4)-OH)(DMF)](n)　1,　and　its　structure　was　characterized　by　single-crystal　X-ray　diffraction　analyses.　In　polymer　1,　the　mu　4-OH　bridges　the　nearby　lead(II)　ions　into　an　infinite　one-dimensional　(1D)　chain,　and　then　the　organic　ligand　pta(2-)　joins　the　neighbored　chains　into　a　3D　structure　by　two　similar　connection　modes　in　different　configurations.　The　solid-state　photoluminescent　studies　revealed　that　1　exhibits　a　strong　greenish　emission　mainly　originating　from　ligand-to-metal　charge　transfer　between　the　delocalized　pi　bonds　of　the　aromatic　carboxylate　ligand　pta(2-)　and　the　p　orbitals　of　the　Pb2+　centers.
