Structure and Luminescent Property of a New Cd(II) Coordination Polymer With (3,6)-Connected ant Topology

Abstract

Solvothermal reactions of Cd(NO3)2, H3btc, and HBTA afforded a new Cd(II) compound, namely (NH3)2[Cd3(btc)2(BTA)(DMA)]n (1 H3btc = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, HBTA = 1,2,3- benzenetriazole, DMA = N, N′-dimethylacetamide). Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that 1 is a complicated three-dimensional (3D) framework based on benzotriazole-controlled trinuclear Cd(II) clusters, which can be simplified into a (3,6)-connected ant-type topological network. Moreover, the luminescent properties of this compound were also investigated at room temperature.
