: Enzyme-containing Coordination Polymers (CPs) were prepared by a one-pot sonochemical method, mixing Glucose Oxidase (GOx) enzyme, 4,4'-bipyridine as spacer ligand, and chloride zinc salt. The reaction took place in a very short time (a few minutes) with a minimum use of solvents compared to conventional methods. The obtained composite material, named GOx-[Zn(4,4'-bipy)Cl₂]∞, resulted from embedding the GOx molecules into uniformly sized [Zn(4,4'-bipy)Cl₂] nanocrystals. The structural and thermal characterization, confirmed that the adopted strategy allows the preparation of hybrid bio-nanomaterials in a very fast, facile and eco-friendly method, by simply synthesising the [Zn(4,4'-bipy)Cl₂] nanocrystals in the presence of the enzyme.

Abstract
: Enzyme-containing Coordination Polymers (CPs) were prepared by a one-pot sonochemical method, mixing Glucose Oxidase (GOx) enzyme, 4,4'-bipyridine as spacer ligand, and chloride zinc salt. The reaction took place in a very short time (a few minutes) with a minimum use of solvents compared to conventional methods. The obtained composite material, named GOx-[Zn(4,4'-bipy)Cl₂]∞, resulted from embedding the GOx molecules into uniformly sized [Zn(4,4'-bipy)Cl₂] nanocrystals. The structural and thermal characterization, confirmed that the adopted strategy allows the preparation of hybrid bio-nanomaterials in a very fast, facile and eco-friendly method, by simply synthesising the [Zn(4,4'-bipy)Cl₂] nanocrystals in the presence of the enzyme.
