Selective dye sorption and metal ion sensing behaviours of a new Cd-based MOF

Abstract

A Cd(II)-based metal–organic framework (MOF) [Cd(PDA)(L)2] (PDA = 1,4-phenylenediacetate and L = 2,4,5-tri-4-pyridyl-1H-imidazole), 1, has been synthesized by solvothermal method and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques, powder X-ray diffraction,...
