A novel 2D infinite M3L2 cage-based Cd(II) microporous coordination polymer with a tripodal carboxylic acid ligand and solvent-dependent luminescence properties

A novel M3L2 cage-based microporous coordination polymer assembled from the six-coordinated Cd(II) ion and a flexible tricarboxylic ligand has been designed and synthesized. The solvent-dependent luminescence properties revealed that the coordination polymer has an obvious, enhanced luminescence in the solvents CH2Cl2 and CHCl3.
