Herein, a novel fluorescent coordination polymer [Cu2(edda)(bpy)2]Greek ano teleia6H2O (Cu-CP; H4edda = 5,5 '-(ethane-1,2-diylbis(oxy)) diisophthalic acid; bpy = 2,2 '-bipyridine) was designed and successfully architected using semi-rigid tetracarboxylic acid ligand H4edda combined with N,N '-donor linker bpy through a hydrothermal method. Single-crystal structural analysis reveals that the adjacent Cu1 centers are linked by 3 '- and 5-carboxyl groups of edda4-linker to form a one-dimensional Cu(II)-edda4-chain, which is further strutted by 3-and 5 '- carboxyl groups in edda4-ligand to generat...
