Coordination polymers and monomers based on new aminocarboxylate ligands: A cadmium(II) polymer containing dimeric aqua-bridged cadmium complex governed by polymeric chain

► Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on amino-carboxylate ligands. ► Novel eight-coordinated cadmium complex {[Cd(HCCB)2]·0.5[Cd(μ-H2O)(H2O)4]2}n. ► Co-crystallization of six-coordinated dimeric cadmium complex. ► Very strong aromatic ring attached chlorine and Cu(II) center interaction.
