Zinc(II) and cadmium(II) coordination polymers containing phenylenediacetate and 4,4′-azobis(pyridine) ligands: Syntheses, structures, dye adsorption properties and molecular dynamics simulations

This work presents two d10-metal coordination polymers based on mixed ligands of phenylenediacetate and 4,4′-azobis(pyridine) which have diverse structures, dimensionalities and topologies. And more, the potential of these CPs for removal of methylene blue from aqueous solution, thermal and optical properties are discussed.217
