A novel CoII-based coordination polymer, poly[[μ-4,4'-bis(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1,1'-biphenyl-κ2N3:N3'](μ-5-nitrobenzene-1,3-dicarboxylato-κ2O1:O3)cobalt(II)], [Co(C8H3NO6)(C20H18N4)] or [Co(NO2-BDC)(4,4'-BMIBP)]n, (I), was synthesized successfully via a hydrothermal reaction. The synthesis employed 5-nitrobenzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (NO2-H2BDC) as the organic linker, 4,4'-bis(2-methyl-1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1,1'-biphenyl (4,4'-BMIBP) as the N-donor auxiliary ligand and cobalt(II) nitrate hexahydrate as the metal source. Structural characterization revealed that (I) crystallizes in a unique three-dimensional framework featuring a threefold parallel interwoven dmp network topology. Photoluminescence studies demonstrated that (I) exhibits remarkable sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of nitrofurazone (NFZ) in aqueous solution. Furthermore, systematic investigations were conducted to elucidate the potential fluorescence quenching mechanisms of (I) toward NFZ.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
