5‐(3′,4′‐Dicarboxylphenoxy)isophthalic acid (H4L1) and 5‐(2′,3′‐dicarboxylphenoxy)isophthalic acid (H4L2) were reacted with Cd2+ salt with/without the assistance of N‐donor ligands, creating five 3D CdII coordination polymers [Cd2(L1)(H2O)5]⋅H2O (1), [Cd2(L1)(bpe)(H2O)] (bpe=1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethene; 2), [Cd2(L1)(bpa)(H2O)] (bpa=1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethane; 3), [Cd2(L1)(bpp)] (bpp=1,3‐bis(4‐pyridyl)propane; 4), and [Cd2(L2)(bpp)2(H2O)2]⋅H2O (5). Crystal‐structure analysis reveals 1) in 1, phthalate moieties for L1 link Cd1 centers into a 1D slightly helical chain; Cd2 centers act as bridges, linking 1D helical chains into a 3D network with a (3,5)‐connected topology; 2) in 2–4, although Cd2+ centers were further modified by the introduction of organic bases, L1 molecules still link Cd2+ centers into 3D networks, which can all be simplified as pcu topology; 3) in 2–4, phthalate moieties first link Cd2+ centers into an oligomer, in which carboxylate‐bridged discrete or rod‐shaped secondary building units (SBUs) are found (tetranuclear SBU in 2 and 3, rod‐shaped SBU in 4); and 4) in 5, L2 molecules link Cd2+ centers into a 2D (4,4) net; introduced bpp molecules serve as pillar linkers, extending Cd2+–L2 layers into a 3D network of 5. The sensing abilities of 2–5 for nitrobenzene (NB) were investigated. Results revealed that they could all serve as fluorescence probes to sense NB at ppm concentrations.
