A Novel 3D Coordination Polymer Based on Bridging Interactions of the Pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic Acid

A novel three-dimensional (3D) coordination polymer [Cd(pdc)Cl](n) (1) has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions, containing pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (H(2)pdc) as a bridging ligand. X-ray analysis shows an infinite 3D structure in which the cadmium(II) centers are bridged by multidentate H(2)pdc ligand. The novel complex was characterized by IR spectrum, elemental analysis, fluorescent properties, thermogravimetric analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD).
