Solvothermal synthesis, structure and luminescent properties of a new 3D coordination polymer [K2Cd(Htda)2]n (Htda = 1,2,3-triazole-4,5-dicarboxylate)

A novel cadmium(II)/Htda coordination polymer [K2Cd(Htda)2]n (1) (Htda = 1,2,3-triazole-4,5-dicarboxylate) was prepared through solvothermal methods and structurally characterized. An X-ray analysis reveals that 1 consists of an unusual 3D (4,4,6)-connected network with a (4264)Cd(42638)K(4361082)Htda topology constructed from image anionic chains and K+ ions via a series of K–O bonding interactions. The luminescent properties of 1 along with the H3tda ligand in the solid state were investigated.
