Three 3D coordination polymers based on [1,1′:4′,1′′-terphenyl]-2′,4,4′′,5′-tetracarboxylate demonstrating magnetic properties and selective sensing of Al³⁺/Fe³⁺over mixed ions

Abstract

Three 3D coordination polymers have been synthesized by using the 1,1′:4′,1′′-terphenyl]-2′,4,4′′,5′-tetracarboxylate acid and Cd(<sc>ii</sc>),Co(<sc>ii</sc>) and Mn(<sc>ii</sc>), the Cd(<sc>ii</sc>) complex shows selective sensing Al³⁺/Fe³⁺ over the mixed metal ions.
