Two Cd(II) coordination polymers based on 3,6-bis(imidazol-1-yl)carbazole: Syntheses, structures and photocatalytic properties

Two 3D coordination polymers [Cd(2-NH2-1,4-BDC)(bmcz)]n and [Cd(1,4-NDC)(bmcz)]n were generated from solvothermal reactions of 2-amine-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (2-NH2-1,4-H2BDC) or 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (1,4-H2NDC) with CdCl2·2.5H2O and 3,6-bis(imidazol-1-yl)carbazole (bmcz). Their solid state luminescent and photocatalytic properties were investigated.
