Three metal-organic frameworks based on the connectivity co-effect between rigid aromatic dicarboxylic acids and flexible linear linkers have been synthesized and characterized. [Cd(3-NO2-bdc)(bbi)]n (1) and [Co(3-NO2-bdc)(bbi)]n (2) (3-NO2-bdcH2 = 3-nitro-1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, bbi = 1,1′-(1,4-butanediyl)bis(imidazole)) are isostructural, which exhibit two-dimensional (2D) layer frameworks; [Co(3,5-pdc)(bbi)·2H2O]n (3) (3,5-pdcH2 = pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid) has 2D 6-connected network with a Schäfli symbol of (344653). In addition, compounds 1 and 2 exhibit good photocatalytic activities under visible irradiation, and their different photocatalytic activities have also been analyzed based on the diffuse-reflectance UV/Vis spectra.
