Coligand-regulated assembly, fluorescence, and magnetic properties of Co(II) and Cd(II) complexes with a non-coplanar dicarboxylate

Six various cadmium(II)/cobalt(II)-organic frameworks were constructed by 5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid and different bis(pyridine) rod-like tectons, and Cd (II) complexes exhibit blue-violet emissions, whereas Co (II) complexes show antiferromagnetic behaviours.
