Two coordination polymers, namely, {[Cd(cdpc)(hmt)(H 2 O)]· H 2 O} n (1), and [Mn(Hcdpc) 2 (4,4Ј-bpy)(H 2 O)] n (2), were constructed by synergistic assembly through the mixed-ligand synthetic strategy (H 2 cdpc = 1-carboxymethyl-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid, hmt = hexamethylenetetramine, and 4,4Ј-bpy = 4,4Ј-dipyridine). Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, * Dr. Q.
