TL;DR: Three novel complexes of cadmium(II)-trimesate coordination polymers are obtained from hydrothermal reaction, in which the T-shaped molecular bilayer motif and chicken-wire-like motif are further interlinked in interdigitating or alternating fashion to construct the different coordination architectures.

TL;DR: In this article, two novel coordination polymers formed by cobalt nitrate and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane with the homologous ligands 2-aminoterephthalic acid and terephthalric acid, respectively, have been prepared.

TL;DR: In this paper, the CdII centers in the four compounds are bridged by mixed polycarboxylate ligands with bpy and related species to form the twofold parallel interpenetration topology of an undulating 2D 44 net for 1, a twofold inter-Po net for 2, a fourfold interposition of a 3D 5-connected borazone 4664 net for 3 and an interesting 3D spiral pipe-like structure with a bolt for 4.

TL;DR: In this article, four mixed-ligand complexes, Na2[Cd2(Htma)2(ox)(H2O)2]}n(1) (tma=trimesate, ox=oxalate), Cd2[2,2′-bipyridine)2 (ox)2]· 2H 2O}n (2), {Cd3(4,4′-trimethylenedipyridis)3(ox)3})n (3), and Na2 [Cd4(

TL;DR: In this article, the reaction of silver nitrate with 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylate and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane under hydrothermal conditions gives an interesting 2D bilayer containing a new kind of “T-shaped” unit.
