Main group element-based coordination polymers (CPs) are being widely studied for energy storage and sensing applications because of their structural versatility and electropositive properties. In this work, Sr(II)-CP, namely (SA2), was fabricated utilizing 3,5-pyridine dicarboxylic acid (PDC). The formation of SA2 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD). The topological rod net representation showed that SA2 followed a (6,3) lla underlying net. However, to enhance the electrochemical properties of SA2, a rGO@SA2 composite was fabricated by introducing reduced graphene oxide (rGO) using a sonication approach. The structures of SA2, rGO and rGO@SA2 were confirmed by spectroscopic and microscopy techniques (PXRD, FT-IR, TGA, UV-vis, SEM, and HR-TEM, respectively). SA2 served as an excellent sensor for Ba2+ (92%) metal ions and showed notable fluorescence selectivity for picric acid (PA-95%) compared with 1,4-nitroaniline (NA-83%) and benzoic acid (BA-49%). Furthermore, electrochemical analysis was performed using galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques which showed good specific capacitances of 153.57 F g-1 and 383.38 F g-1 for SA2 and rGO@SA2 at a current density of 0.5 A g-1, respectively. After 2000 cycles, rGO@SA2 showed a retention capacitance of 96.32%.

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...

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
