•One new heterometallic complex with benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate and the mixture of Cd(II) and Cu(II) salts.•Complex 1 displays (4,6)-connected open 3D framework with 1D channels.•Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and luminescent property of 1 were investigated.
One new heterometallic complex [Cd2Cu(BTC)2(H2O)2]⋅2H2O (1) (BTC = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate), has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The structure indicates that the complex 1 crystallizes in triclinic, space group Pī, in which, the carboxylate groups of BTC ligand adopt μ2–η1:η1, and μ2–η2:η1 coordination modes, bridging Cd(II) and Cu(II) atoms to generate 2D Cd-BTC bilayer then to a (4,6)-connected open 3D framework with 1D channels occupied by guest water molecules. In addition, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and luminescent property of 1 were investigated.
