Three metal organic coordination compounds, namely, {[Cd2(L1)4]2 ·9H2O} n ( 1), {[Zn(L1)2 ·2H2O]2 ·H2O} n ( 2), and [Cu(L2)2] n ( 3), [L1 = 3-chloro-2-(5 H-tetrazol-5-yl)pyridine; L2 = 3-chloropicolinic acid], were hydrothermally synthesized, in which L1 and L2 were synthesized by in situ reactions. X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that the 2D layer of complex 1 is built from a dinuclear CdII second building blocks, whereas complex 2 shows 0D structure, which is built based on two L1 ligands, one zinc ion, and two water molecules. 3 shows a 1D infinite rod-shaped chain. Additionally, the solid-state fluorescence properties for compound 1 and 2 are also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
