One homometallic and two heterometallic coordination networks, namely [Zn 2 (2,6-PDC) 2 ] (1), [CaPb 6 (2,6-PDC) 6 ]Cl 2 (2) and [Mg 1.5 Ce(2,6-PDC) 3 (H 2 O) 3 ]•3.5H 2 O (3), have been synthesized via hydrothermal method, where 2,6-PDC is 2,6pyridinedicarboxylate. Crystal structure analysis reveals complexes 1-3 are all made up of metal-linker secondary building units (SBUs) and metal nodes. Complex 1 features a sql net structure, which can be regarded as the combination of two different (4,4) topological 2D networks. One 2D network is composed of flattened tetrahedral [Zn(2,6-PDC) 2 ] 2metal-linker SBUs and penta-coordinated Zn-shared nodes and the other 2D network consists of 2-connected 2,6-PDC ligands and 4connected Zn(II) nodes. Compared with the 2D structure of 1, 2 and 3 possess 3D framework structures. Complex 2 is composed of 18-connected octahedral [Ca(2,6-PDC) 6 ] 10metal-linker SBUs and 3-connected Pb(II) nodes, displaying a 3,18connected gez net. Complex 3 owns well-known topological type of 4,6-connected stp net and 1D hexagonal nanochannels, which is composed of 6-connected triangular prismatic [Ce(2,6-PDC) 3 ] 3metal-linker SBUs and 4-connected Mg(II) nodes.Moreover, luminescence and iodine adsorption properties of complexes are also investigated.Three new metal-organic coordination networks with various metal-linker secondary building units are synthesized, which have luminescence and iodine adsorption properties.
