A new cadmium（Ⅱ） polymer [Cd（tdc）（Phen）]n 1 （H2tdc = thiophene-3,4-dicar-boxylic acid, Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline） was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P , with a = 7.3150（10）, b = 10.3598（14）, c = 10.8784（15） , α = 82.2740（10）, β = 72.9730（10）, γ = 80.236（2）°, V = 773.68（18） 3, Z = 2, Mr = 462.74, Dc = 1.986 Mg/m3, μ = 1.58 mm-1, F（000） = 456, the final R = 0.0218 and wR = 0.0465 for 3361 observed reflections with Ⅰ 〉 2σ（Ⅰ）. The compound presents a one-dimensional （1-D） double-stranded structure and exhibits fluorescent emission at room temperature. Furthermore, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analyses, thermogravimetric analysis and powder X-ray diffraction properties of the compound are also investigated.
A novel clicked tetrathiafulvalene derivative 3 bearing two 8-oxyquinoline groups was synthesized for the selective detection of Zn2＋ through optical and electrochemical changes. The addition of Zn2＋ and Cd2＋ induced a significant change in fluorescence intensity, which was attributable to the chelation-enhanced fluorescence effect from the oxyquinoline and 1,2,3-triazole rings. The electrochemical potentials of 3 in the presence of the Zn2＋ were shifted toward more positive values relative to those of the other metal cations tested.
