Construction of five Zn(ii)/Cd(ii) coordination polymers derived from a new linear carboxylate/pyridyl ligand: design, synthesis, and photocatalytic properties

Reactions of Cd(OAc)₂/Zn(OAc)₂ with a new linear carboxylate/pyridyl ligand under different templates via an in situ ligand transformation reaction produced five new CPs. Complexes 1–5 exhibited relatively good photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of methylene blue.

Structural diversity and photocatalytic properties of Cd(ii) coordination polymers constructed by a flexible V-shaped bipyridyl benzene ligand and dicarboxylate derivatives

Reactions of Cd(OAc)₂ with V-shaped bipyridyl benzene and five benzenedicarboxylic acid derivatives gave rise to five new CPs. Complexes 1–5 exhibited relatively good photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of methylene blue.

Assembly of a series of d10 coordination polymers based on W-shaped 1,3-di(2′,4′-dicarboxyphenyl)benzene: from syntheses, structural diversity, luminescence, to photocatalytic properties

Six d¹⁰ coordination polymers with different architectures based on W-shaped 1,3-di(2′,4′-dicarboxyphenyl)benzene (H₄DDB) have been prepared. Their photoluminescence and photocatalytic properties were also investigated.

Syntheses and structures of two gold(i) coordination compounds derived from P–S hybrid ligands and their efficient catalytic performance in the photodegradation of nitroaromatics in water

Two Au–P–S complexes [Au₂(dppatc)₂]Cl₂ and [Au(dppmt)]₂ were prepared and they showed high catalytic activity toward the photodegradation of nitroaromatics in water.

A Zn(ii) coordination polymer and its photocycloaddition product: syntheses, structures, selective luminescence sensing of iron(iii) ions and selective absorption of dyes

Nanospheres of a Zn(ii) complex are used to selectively sense iron(iii) ions while its photocycloaddition product can selectively absorb dyes.

Syntheses, crystal structures, and optical properties of five metal complexes constructed from a V-shaped thiophene-containing ligand and different dicarboxylate ligands

Five new metal complexes constructed from the V-shaped ligand 2,8-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)dibenzothiophene (DIDP) and different aromatic dicarboxylic acids have been synthesized and structurally characterized in detail. All these complexes show optical semiconductive properties.
