Ligands directed versatile cadmium-bis(triazole) metal-organic fragments to generate three new two dimensional complexes based on polymolybdenum phosphate

Three new 2D metal-organic complexes derived from [Cd(P4Mo6)2] dimers and different Cd-bis(triazole) metal-organic fragments have been obtained under hydrothermal conditions. There is a penta-nuclear subunit in 1, a tetra-nuclear fragment in 2 and a 1D zigzag Cd-O-P chain unit in 3. The spacer length of the bis(triazole)-based ligands plays an important role in constructing multi-nuclear CdII subunits.
