Diversified architectures of one-dimensional zinc(II) and cadmium(II) coordination polymers incorporating bipyridyl ligands: Syntheses, structures, theoretical studies, fluorescent and nonlinear optical properties

Four one dimensional (1-D) bipyridyl-based Zn(II)/Cd(II) coordination polymers (CPs) 1-4 display diversified architectures. The theory calculations of 1-3, fluorescence of 1-4 and nonlinear optical property of 3 have been investigated.
