Two new CdII MOFs, namely, two‐dimensional (2D) poly[[[μ2‐1,4‐bis(1H‐benzimidazol‐1‐yl)butane](μ2‐heptanedioato)cadmium(II)] tetrahydrate], {[Cd(C7H10O4)(C18H18N4)]·4H2O}n or {[Cd(Pim)(bbimb)]·4H2O}n (1), and 2D poly[diaqua[μ2‐1,4‐bis(1H‐benzimidazol‐1‐yl)butane](μ4‐decanedioato)(μ2‐decanedioato)dicadmium(II)], [Cd2(C10H16O4)2(C18H18N4)(H2O)2]n or [Cd(Seb)(bbimb)0.5(H2O)]n (2), have been synthesized hydrothermally based on the 1,4‐bis(1H‐benzimidazol‐1‐yl)butane (bbimb) and pimelate (Pim2−, heptanedioate) or sebacate (Seb2−, decanedioate) ligands. Both MOFs were structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In 1, the CdII centres are connected by bbimb and Pim2− ligands to generate a 2D sql layer structure with an octameric (H2O)8 water cluster. The 2D layers are further connected by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three‐dimensional (3D) supramolecular structure. In 2, the CdII centres are coordinated by Seb2− ligands to form binuclear Cd2 units which are linked by bbimb and Seb2− ligands into a 2D hxl layer. The 2D layers are further connected by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, leading to an 8‐connected 3D hex supramolecular network. IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and solid‐state photoluminescence analysis were carried out on both MOFs. Luminescence sensing experiments reveal that both MOFs have good selective sensing towards Fe3+ in aqueous solution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
