Bidimensional cadmium metal-organic frameworks based on 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane displaying long lifetime photoluminescence emission

Bidimensional novel cadmium metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on the 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane linker and flexible dicarboxylate ligands derived from glutarate (2-methylglutarate, 2-dimethylglutarate and 3-methylglutarate) have been synthesized by conventional routes. These MOFs show fascinating structural features and they display long lifetime photoluminescence emission in the solid state, at room temperature.

We report the synthesis of three novel Cd bidimensional polymers based on the flexible ligand 1,3-bis(4-pyridil)propane and different glutarate anions. All three structures were obtained by slow diffusion of solutions of the starting materials. All of them show long-lived luminescence.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
