Four cadmium(II) coordination polymers with an N- and O-donor ligand: Structural characterization, in situ reaction and fluorescent property

Hydrothermal reactions of 5-(1H-benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)isophthalic acid (H2L) with Cd(II) salt under different experimental conditions provide four complexes with different structures varying from 1D to 3D. The L2− ligands in the complexes are found to show a variety of coordination modes. The results of this study illustrate the structural diversity of complexes under different experimental conditions.
