Abstract
Two new 3-D complexes, [M(L)(4bpy)0.5(H2O)]∞ [M = Cd (1) and = Zn (2)], based on mixed 1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid (H2L) and 4,4′-bipyridine (4bpy) have been synthesized; 1 and 2 feature (3,4)-connected (63)(65.8) topological networks consisting of pillared 2-D [M(L)(H2O)]∞ layered motifs. Complexes 1 and 2 are photoluminescent materials.
