The structural diversity and photoluminescent properties of cadmium thiophenedicarboxylate coordination polymers.

Two series of Cd(II) coordination polymers (CPs), {[Cd(bimm)2(H2O)2][(3,4-tdc)2][H2O]2}n (1a), [Cd(3,4-tdc)(bimb)]n (2a), [Cd(3,4-tdc)(bimpy)(H2O)]n (3a) and [Cd(2,3-Htdc)2(bimm)2]n (1b), {[Cd(2,3-tdc)(bimb)](H2O)}n (2b), [Cd(2,3-tdc)(bimpy)(H2O)]n (3b) where H2tdc = thiophenedicarboxylic acid, bimm = 1,2-bis(imidazol-1'-yl)methane, bimb = 1,2-bis(imidazol-1'-yl)butane and bimpy = 3,5-bis(imida...

The structural diversity of artificial genetic polymers

Synthetic genetics is a subdiscipline of synthetic biology that aims to develop artificial genetic polymers (also referred to as xeno-nucleic acids or XNAs) that can replicate in vitro and eventually in model cellular organisms. This field of science combines organic chemistry with polymerase engineering to create alternative forms of DNA that can store genetic information and evolve in respons...

Investigating the geometrical preferences of a flexible benzimidazolone-based linker in the synthesis of coordination polymers

A series of new group 2 coordination polymers, MgL ={MgL(H2O)(DMF)0.75}∞, CaL = {CaL(DMF)2}∞, SrL = {SrL(H2O)0.5}∞ and BaL = {BaL(H2O)0.5}∞, were synthesized using a flexible benzimidazolone diacetic acid linker (H2L) in which the two carboxylic acid binding sites are connected to a planar core via {-CH2-} spacers that can freely rotate in solution. In a 'curiosity-led' diversion from group 2 m...
