Syntheses, crystal structures, and fluorescent properties of two 2-D Cd(II) complexes based on 2-((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-benzimidazole and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate

Construction of two Cd(II) complexes by flexible adipic acid plus 2-((benzoimidazol-yl)methyl)-1H-tetrazole ligand

“…Multicarboxylate compounds are common O-donor ligands and their great richness and various coordination modes can generate unforeseen structure types [11][12][13]. With regard to the aliphatic dicarboxylate species, their two carboxylate groups are separated by -(CH 2 ) nspacers which can bend and rotate freely when coordinate to metal ions, thus enhance the possibility to produce multifarious coordination modes and novel structures [14][15][16].…”
