Abstract: | The combination of N‐heterocyclic and multicarboxylate ligands is a good choice for the construction of metal–organic frameworks. In the title coordination polymer, poly[bis{μ2‐1‐[(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐tetrazole‐κ2N3:N4}(μ4‐butanedioato‐κ4O1:O1′:O4:O4′)(μ2‐butanedioato‐κ2O1:O4)dicadmium], [Cd(C4H4O4)(C9H8N6)]n, each CdII ion exhibits an irregular octahedral CdO4N2 coordination geometry and is coordinated by four O atoms from three carboxylate groups of three succinate (butanedioate) ligands and two N atoms from two 1‐[(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl)methyl]‐1H‐tetrazole (bimt) ligands. CdII ions are connected by two kinds of crystallographically independent succinate ligands to generate a two‐dimensional layered structure with bimt ligands located on each side of the layer. Adjacent layers are further connected by hydrogen bonding, leading to a three‐dimensional supramolecular architecture in the solid state. Thermogravimetric analysis of the title polymer shows that it is stable up to 529 K and then loses weight from 529 to 918 K, corresponding to the decomposition of the bimt ligands and succinate groups. The polymer exhibits a strong fluorescence emission in the solid state at room temperature. |
