New chiral Sr(II) doped Cd(II)-tartrate: Synthesis, structure and luminescence

A new Sr(II) doped Cd(II)-tartrate, namely [Cd3Sr(L-tart)4]n (1 L-tart = L-tartrate acid), interestingly, featuring two different layers, was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 is the first heterometallic coordination polymer based on L-tart and exhibits an unprecedented 6-nodal net of {4,64,8}4{42,610,83}{42,64}{42,66,82}2 topology. Moreover, compound 1 emits intense luminescence in the solid state at room temperature.
