Hydrothermal Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Luminescent Property of a New Cd(II) Coordination Polymer With Three-Fold Interpenetrated pcu Topology

Abstract

A new three-dimensional (3D) coordination polymer, [Cd(pda)(bib)0.5] n(1), [H2pda=1,4-phenylenediacetic acid and bib=1,4-bis(2-methyl-imidazol-1-yl) butane] was prepared by hydrothermal syntheses and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Crystal structure determination revealed that complex 1 features a threefold interpenetrated pcu framework. Furthermore, the luminescent property for complex 1 is also investigated in solid state at room temperature.
