Novel 2D supramolecular array based on antibacterial drug norfloxacin

Self-assembly reaction of Cd(ClO4)2 · 6H2O with Norfloxacin (H-Norf) affords a novel 2D rectangular grid framework [Cd(Norf)(ClO4)(H2O)] (1) with strong blue luminescent emission (λem=425 nm), while Norf− acts as a tetradentate bridging linker to connect three Cd centers and ClO4 − completes Cd center octahedron coordination geometry. The compound 1 has crystallographic data of triclinic, space group , a=9.4577(1) Å, b=9.5012(2) Å, c=12.2805(1) Å, V=3624.4(3) Å3, Z=2.
