A series of entangled Cd(II) coordination polymers assembled from different dicarboxylate acids and a flexible imidazole-based ligand

Four architectures with different entangled modes have been obtained by introducing dicarboxylate co-ligands into the Cd(II)-bmimx system. Their structures have been analyzed. In addition, the thermal stability and photoluminescent properties of complexes 1-4 have also been investigated.
