A multifunctional cadmium-based metal-organic framework from a tricarboxylate ligand showing sensing and sensitization

A biomimetic metal–organic framework with cuboid inner cavities for enantioselective separation

“…The Cd-O and Cd-N bond lengths range from 2.356(4) to 2.438(4) Å and from 2.312(4) to 2.321(4) Å (Table S2 †), respectively, which are in the usual range for similar cadmium-based complexes. [49][50][51] The two adjacent cadmium(II) centers related by C 2 symmetry are held together via two bridging oxygen atoms to form a planar dimeric [Cd 2 (O 2 C) 4 ] unit. The resulting dinuclear Cd 2 O 8 cluster is linked by four two-connected HL 2− ligands to generate a 2D sql network at the ab plane (Fig.…”
