“…Compared with that of transition metal complexes of dicarboxylates, the chemistry of the main group metal dicarboxylates is less explored [5]. On the other hand, some Pb(II) carboxylate compounds have exhibited various luminescent properties [14][15][16]. Although there are also some examples related to Pb(II) complexes of dicarboxylates with common spacers such as 1,4-BDC [3,17,18], À O 2 C-ðCH 2 Þ n -CO À 2 (n = 2-4) [18], 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (1,2-CHDC) and 1,3-CHDC [19], 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate (NDC) [14], the Pb(II) complexes of dicarboxylates with other spacers are still limited in number.…”
