Two metal-organic frameworks constructed from 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylate and methyl-functionalized N-donorligands with magnetic, luminescent and catalytic studies

Two new 3D transition metal-organic frameworks were obtained by reacting 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid and methyl-functionalized N-donor ligands with nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate and/or cadmium nitrate tetrahydrate, in which show 8-connected 8T36 and 4-connected dia topology, respectively. Furthermore, the magnetism of 1, the luminescence of 2, and the catalytic activities of 1-2 for the degradation of methyl orange in a Fenton-like process have also investigated.231
