Porous and Nonporous Coordination Polymers Induced by Pseudohalide Ions for Luminescence and Gas Sorption.

The three-dimensional (3D) coordination polymers [Cd(tpmd)(NCX)] [X = O (), S (), and BH (); tpmd = ,,','-tetrakis(pyridin-4-yl)methanediamine] have been determined to display their network structures through coordinated anionic ligands. Polymers and show nonporous structures, whereas polymer shows a porous coordination framework. On the basis of the Cd(II) network structures, the 3D coordination polymer [Zn(tpmd)(NCBH)]·MeOH () was self-assembled.
