A novel strong fluorescent three-dimensional supramolecular coordination polymer based on bridging terephthalate

A novel coordination polymer [Cd(bpy)(tp)(H2O)]n (1) has been prepared through hydrothermal reaction and structurally characterized, and the compound gives strong fluorescent emission. The structure of the compound consists of CdN2O4 octahedron linked through bridging terephthalate (tp) into 1D structure, and then a 3D supramolecular structure is formed adopting herringbone packing in the solid state through π–π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions.
