Syntheses, structures, and photoluminescent properties of four d10 metal-quinolinato coordination polymers with similar rod-like SBUs

Four MII quinolinato complexes, [Zn2(quin)2(H2O)3]n (1), [Zn(quin)(H2O)2]n (2), [Zn(quin)(H2O)]n (3) and [Cd(quin)]n (4) (H2quin = 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid or quinolinic acid), have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized.
