Abstract

A new metal-organic framework based on a multifunctional ligand, 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (H3PIDC), [Cd(HPIDC)]n (1), has been obtained under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, elemental analysis, IR spectrum, and powder X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 is constructed by metallacalix[4]arene building blocks Cd4(HPIDC)4 with single-left (L) and single-right-helical (R) chains sitting on the four corners of Cd4(HPIDC)4 units. The structure of 1 can be described as a (3,3)-connected net with the (82× 10) topology. The solid-state photoluminescence has been carried out at room temperature.
