Luminescent Cd(II) Fumarate Bridging 1D Coordination Polymer: Ultra-Trace Level Detection of Cu in Aqueous Medium and Fabrication of Semiconducting Device.

In addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) the UNDP has fixed 17 issues out of them clean water (SDG-6) and affordable energy (SDG-7) serve as decisive points towards sustenance of the society. Material chemistry plays a vital role to design new chemical compounds and exploring versatile activities towards the solution of pressing challenges. Copper, third abundant metal in human body following iron and zinc, is useful to monitor many metabolic processes.

Structure-directing effect of terephthalate in bridging Zn(II)- and Cd(II)-based coordination polymers towards application in the detection of trace quantities of Pd in aqueous media and their electrical conductivities.

Energy crisis and environmental pollution are two central themes of contemporary research towards achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). Material chemistry is the chief discipline that can resolve glitches in these areas through the appropriate design of chemical compounds with multifunctional properties. In this regard, two stable coordination polymers (CPs) were synthesised in this work using Zn(II) (3d) and Cd(II) (d) metal nodes with 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate () as the bridging ligand and monodentate pyridyl-N coordinated 9-fluoren-2-yl-pyridin-4-ylmethylene-amine (flpy) as the fluorogenic partner.
