Three cadmium(II) coordination polymers constructed from 5,7-disulfonate-1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate and N-containing ligands, {[Cd2(DSNPDC)(phen)(H2O)4]·2.5H2O}n (1), {[Cd2(DSNPDC)(phen)2(H2O)4]·3H2O}n (2) and [Cd2(DSNPDC)(bpy)2(H2O)4]n (3) (H4-DSNPDC = 5,7-disulfonate-1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, and bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine), were synthesized and characterized. Compound 1 displays a two-dimensional (2D) layered structure. In 2 and 3, the dinuclear [Cd2(COO)2] units are connected by DSNPDC4– ligands to generate one-dimensional (1D) chains. Due to the presence of the terminal chelating phen/bpy ligands, all compounds show low dimensional structures. Compounds 1–3 exhibit fluorescence emissions centered at 378, 419 and 376 nm, respectively, which are assigned to ligand-centered emissions or ligand-to-metal charge transfer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reactions of cadmium(II) salts with 3-amino-5-methylthio-1H-1,2,4-triazole (Hamstz) afforded two cadmium(II) coordination polymers, [Cd2(amstz)2Cl2]n(1) and [Cd2(amstz)2(NO3)2]n(2). Compounds1and2feature 2-D layered structures based on the dinuclear [Cd2(amstz)2] subunits. The cadmium coordination polyhedra are tetrahedral and tetragonal pyramidal in1and2, respectively, due to the presence of different coordinated anions, Cl−and NO3−. Compounds1and2exhibit photoluminescence emission with maxima at 620 and 621 nm upon excitation at 470 and 472 nm, respectively, which can be attributed to the ligand-to-metal charge transfer emssion.
