Four photoluminescent homochiral supramolecular compounds based on enantiopure 2-(1-hydroxy-ethyl)-3H-benzoimidazole-5-carboxylate ligand have been synthesized successfully, and all of them are built from fascinating butterfly-like chains via hydrogen bonding interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A novel three-dimensional metal-organic framework with primitive cubic ( pcu) topology exhibits interesting tunable photoluminescent emission based on the variation of excitation light at room temperature. By judicious choice of two different conjugated organic linkers incorporating in a certain framework, the contributions of distinct emission bands may be finely controlled. This work may provide a new route to explore functional luminescent materials with tunable photoluminescence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on linear 1,4-benzeneditetrazol-5-yl ligand, two Cd(II) metal-organic frameworks have been constructed from square planar tetranuclear and linear trinuclear cadmium clusters, respectively, both of which show 8-connected bcu topology and luminescent properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
