Hydrothermal Synthesis, Crystal Structures, and Luminescent Properties of Two Cadmium(II) Coordination Polymers Based on Dicarboxylate and Imidazole-Containing Coligands.

In this paper, two cadmium(II) coordination polymers [Cd(sdb)(bib)] n ( 1) and {[Cd2(pda)2(bib)2] ·0.5H2O} n ( 2) [H2sdb = 4,4′-sulfonyl-dicarboxylic acid, H2pda = 1,3-phenylenediacetic acid, and bib = 1,4-bis(1-imidazolyl) benzene] were synthesized and characterized by hydrothermal methods. Complex 1 displays a 3,5-connected topological net and complex 2 shows a 4-connected non-interpenetrated pcu framework. Furthermore, the luminescent properties for complexes 1 and 2 were investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
