Abstract:
In this study, we utilized the pyridine derivative tri(pyridin-3-yl)amine (TPA) and terephthalic acid (H2PTA) as coordination ligands to synthesize two Cd-organic frameworks, namely [Cd3(PTA)3(TPA)] (1) and [Cd3(PTA)3(TPA)(DMA)]•2DMA (2) (DMA = N,N-dimethylacetamide). It was demonstrated that both compounds possess room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP). Specifically, compound 1 exhibited an interesting excitation-responsive RTP emission, with the phosphorescence covering half of the visible spectrum, while compound 2 was found to display a distinct blue-green phosphorescence. The photochromic behaviors of solids 1 and 2 were monitored, and the combination of this fascinating property with fluorescence and phosphorescence provides a simple approach for triple-message security encryption. In addition, due to its noncentrosymmetric structural nature, compound 2 showed a second harmonic generation effect, which is comparable to that of KH2PO4 at 1064 nm.

Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
