| Abstract: | A self-assembled new 2D cadmium network, Cd (BDC-OH)(DMF)2·DMF]n (Cd-BDC-OH), was synthesized based on 2-hydroxyterephthalic acid (BDC-OH) ligand and utilized as a heterogeneous catalyst for Knoevenagel condensation. The structure was fully elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Hirshfeld surface analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The fabricated coordination polymer exhibited high catalytic activity under ambient conditions, and was used without significant drop in product yield in further cycles. |
