A series of mixed-ligand 2D and 3D coordination polymers assembled from a novel multifunctional pyridine-tricarboxylate building block: hydrothermal syntheses, structural and topological diversity, and magnetic and luminescent properties

Abstract

4-(5-Carboxypyridin-2-yl)isophthalic acid (H3L) was applied as a new principal building block for the self-assembly generation of mixed-ligand coordination polymers.
