Two novel cadmium(II) coordination polymers based on bis-functionalized ligand 4′-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2, 2′:6′, 2″-terpyridine

Two novel cadmium(II) coordination polymers [Cd(cptpy)2]n·nH2O (1) with a 1D double chain structure and [Cd2(cptpy)2(ox)]n·2.5nH2O (2) with an interesting 3-connected uninodal six-fold interpenetrating ths network (Hcptpy = 4′-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine, H2ox = oxalic acid) have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, single crystal X-ray diffraction and fluorescence spectra.
