Three new metal coordination polymers with different spatial structure, namely {[Co2(H2O)6(4-PDCA)2]2·3H2O}n (SNUT-12), {[Cd(H2O)2(4-PDCA)]·2H2O}n (SNUT-13) and [Zn2(4-PDCA)2]n (SNUT-14), where H2(4-PDCA) = 1-(4-carboxyphenyl)-5-methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridazine-3-carboxylic acid, were synthesized by changing the central ion with the same ligand under solvothermal and hydrothermal conditions, which were further characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder XRD, FT-IR and TGA. Single crystal X-ray analysis revealed that SNUT-12 exhibits a 1D infinite zigzag chains which were constructed by Cobalt(II) ion and 4-PDCA2− ligand, SNUT-13 features a 2D ladder-like structure. Meanwhile, SNUT-14 displays 2-fold 3D → 3D parallel interpenetrating frameworks. In addition, SNUT-12 exhibited high electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction, and SNUT-13, SNUT-14 showed strong fluorescence at room temperature.

Purpose: To investigate the potential association between lifestyles, including cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical exercise at the time of biopsy and the risk for developing end-stage renal failure (ESRF) among IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients within 10 years. Methods: A case–control study was carried out. Seventy-seven ESRF patients with the primary cause of IgAN were enrolled as cases. Seventy-seven IgAN patients who had not progressed to ESRF after being diagnosed for over 10 years served as controls. Smoking, alcohol consumption and physical exercise related data and baseline clinical features were collected from their medical records and confirmed by phone calls. Results: The case group had higher proportions of males, smokers, drinkers, and physical inactivity individuals than the controls had. Alcohol drinking history (/1 year, OR 1.32, p
