TL;DR: The pyridyltetrazolate ligand formed in situ from NaN3 and 3-cyanopyridine in the presence of ZnCl2 or CdCl2 in water affords acentric (1) or chiral (2) coordination polymers, respectively as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Photoluminescence studies revealed coordination polymers 1, 2, and 3 exhibit strong blue fluorescent emissions at lambda(max) = 396, 418, and 397 nm, respectively, in the solid state at room temperature.

TL;DR: The solid-state structure and nature of 1 provide an indication of the type of materials that may be formed as intermediates in the Sharpless-Demko reaction for the generation of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles.

TL;DR: From structure to functions, particular emphasis is placed on the coordination and organometallic chemistry of olefin-Cu(I) coordination oligomers and polymers, their structures and potential applications as solids possessing unusual physical functional properties such as electrochemical, chiral separation, fluorescent sensing and ferroelectricity.
