Anion-directed assembly of cadmium(II)-dicyanamide coordination polymers based on a tripyridyltriazole ligand

Four cadmium-dicyanamide coordination polymers with a multidentate tripyridyltriazole ligand have been synthesized and characterized, which display diverse 1D, 2D, and 3D coordination motifs regulated by the counter anions of Cd(II) salts. Their thermal and fluorescent properties have also been studied.
