Construction of cadmium(II) and zinc(II) coordination frameworks based on 3,5-bis(benzoimidazo-1-ly)pyridine and carboxylate acids: Synthesis, crystal structures and photoluminescent properties

A novel CdII-based metal–organic framework as a multi-responsive luminescent sensor for Fe3+, MnO4−, Cr2O72−, salicylaldehyde and ethylenediamine detection with high selectivity and sensitivity

A luminescent Cd^II-based MOF has been synthesized.

Synthesis, crystal structure, luminescence, and photocatalytic properties of a 2D Cu(II) metal-organic frameworks based on 3,5-di(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)pyridine and 4,4′-oxybis(benzoate) ligands

A new Cu(II) metal-organic framework, [Cu(L)(OBA)·H2O] n (1) [H2OBA = 4,4′-oxybis(benzoic acid), L = 3,5-di(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)pyridine] was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized through IR spectroscopy, elemental and thermal analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is a four-connected uni-nodal 2D net with a (44·62) topology which shows an emission centered at λ ∼393 nm upon excitation at λ = 245 nm. Moreover, complex 1 possesses high photocatalytic activities for the decomposition of Rhodamine B (RhB) under UV light irradiation.
