Hydrothermal synthesis and structural characterization of two unprecedented photoluminescent coordination polymers constructed from Cd salt and mixed ligand

Two new Cd-containing coordination polymers {Cd2(succ)2(1,10′-phen)2} n (1) and {Cd(glut)(1,10′-phen)(H2O)} n (2) are described. Complex 1 exhibits an interesting 2-D structure in which the binuclear Cd centers are linked by succinate anions. Complex 2 possesses an interesting 1-D chain-like structure. The IR and TG properties of the two compounds are studied. Furthermore, these two complexes exhibit photoluminescence.
