摘要

A new three-dimensional uninodal eight-connected metal-organic framework (MOF) based on pentanuclear cadmium subunits has been synthesized and characterized. To our knowledge, this is the first example of MOFs with the eight-connected 3(4)4(14)5(10) topology. The framework exhibits high thermal stability until 300 degrees C confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis and has a potential application as a multifunctional material with fluorescent and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties.
