Abstract

A new inorganic–organic hybrid solid, Cd(phen)(H 2PO 4) 2⋅H 2O (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, FTIR, elemental analysis, ICP analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and fluorescent spectrum. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P-1 (No. 2), a = 6.8027 ( 3 ) Å , b = 11.0806 ( 4 ) Å , c = 12.1725 ( 5 ) Å , α = 63.8120 ( 10 ) ° , β = 81.043 ( 2 ) ° , γ = 86.935 ( 2 ) ° , V = 813.19 ( 6 ) Å 3 , Z = 2 . The structure is built from strictly alternating CdO 4N 2 octahedra and H 2PO 4 tetrahedra through their vertices, forming an infinite ladder-like architecture. This compound shows intense photoluminescence upon photoexcitation at 358 nm.
