Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of Cadmium(II) Centered Chiral Coordination Polymer based on (R)‐6‐(1‐Carboxyethoxy)‐2‐naphthoic Acid

Abstract

A cadmium chiral coordination polymer, formulated as [Cd(R‐cna)]n (1‐D) was constructed under hydrothermal method. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis indicated that 1‐D exhibited a 2D layered structure with a point symbol of (47·63). 1‐D was further characterized by infrared spectra, powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD), elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and circular dichroism spectra (CD). The second‐harmonic generation (SHG) property was investigated. It was also found that the luminescence of 1‐D can be quenched by iron ions and trinitrotoluene, indicating its potential application as luminescence sensing material.

“…Usage of similar strategies with the chiral linker has been used in the preparation of MOFs, which are either crystallized in chiral space groups or noncentrosymmetric space groups, which were explored for the second-order NLO characteristics. ,− …”

Chiral metal–organic frameworks for photonics

“…121,124,126,129,132–134,138,147–149 For example, Wang et al synthesised a chiral ligand from 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid and ( R )-lactic acid which forms a chiral MOF during a solvothermal reaction with Cd 2+ . 149 The SHG efficiency was 0.7 × urea, which is among the highest for this class of MOFs. More generally, MOFs of this variety have been some of the most successful in recent years.…”
