Sulfur-hinged L-shaped ligand-based Cd(II)-organic framework: A fluorescent tool for targeting environmental nitroaromatics†

We present the synthesis and detailed structural characterization of a cadmium-based metal-organic framework (Cd-MOF) with the formula [Cd(L4-Py)(nipa)(H2O)]n, where L4-Py stands for N,N'-(thiobis(4,1-phenylene))diisonicotinamide, and anionic nipa2- represents 5-nitroisophthalate. This Cd-MOF...
