Various carboxylates induced eight Zn(<scp>ii</scp>)/Cd(<scp>ii</scp>) coordination polymers with fluorescence sensing activities for Fe(<scp>iii</scp>), Cr(<scp>vi</scp>) and oxytetracycline

Abstract

Eight new Zn( ii )/Cd( ii ) coordination polymers constructed from a naphthalene-amide-pyridyl ligand and various carboxylates were synthesized and characterized, which show multifunctional fluorescence responses for cations, anions and antibiotics.
