Abstract
Two new nano-dimensional square grid metal–organic polymers, {[Cd(1,3-bix)2(H2O)2](NO3)2} n (1) and [Cd(1,3-bix)2(NO3)2] n (2) (1,3–bix = 1,3-bis(imidazol-1-yl-methyl)benzene), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and FT-IR spectroscopy. Polymers 1 and 2 are 2-D layer structures consisting of nano-dimensional square grid units. The photoluminescent properties of 1 and 2 were investigated.
