A luminescent cadmium(II) metal-organic framework based on a triazolate-carboxylate ligand exhibiting selective gas adsorption and guest-dependent photoluminescence properties

A luminescent cadmium metal-organic framework functionalized with uncoordinated triazolate N-donors has been constructed by using a triazolate-carboxylate bifunctional organic ligand. It exhibits selective adsorption of CO2 over N-2 behavior, and interesting guest-dependent photoluminescence properties.
