Nine new zinc/cadmium-based CPs derived from X-H2BDC (X = H, Br, NO2 and CH3) and methyl-functionalized dmbpy ligands have been prepared. Their luminescent properties and the pH-dependent stabilities in aqueous solutions were investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
