We report five coordination polymers (CPs) based on fluorescent ligands [1, 6-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)pyrene (dip), 9, 10-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)anthracene (dia)] and anionic ligands [cyclohexane-1, 4-dicarboxylic acid (H₂cda), camphoric acid (H₂cpa)]. In [Cd(dip)(cda)]·4H₂O}_n (1), the Cd²⁺ ions, acting as tetrahedral nodes, are linked by dip and cda^2- ligands with four Cd²⁺ ions into five-fold interpenetrating network array of topology of dia. In {[Cd(dip) (cpa)]·4H₂O}_n (2), the Cd²⁺ ions, acting as a 4-connector, are linked by cpa^2- and dip ligands into a 3D framework of cds topology. In {[Ni(dia)₂Cl₂]·DMF}_n (3), the Ni²⁺ ion is linked by four dia ligands into a layer structure, and 1D channels of a cross-section of 1.35 nm×0.96 nm are formed. In {[Cd(dia)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂·2DMSO}_n (4), the dia ligands connected Cd²⁺ ions into a 2D layer, and 1D channels are formed between adjacent layers with a cross-section of 0.87 nm×0.43 nm. In [Zn(dip)Cl₂]_n (5), the Zn²⁺ ion is linked by dip ligands into an infinite 1D chain. The infrared, thermal gravimetric, and fluorescent emission data were collected and analyzed for these coordination polymers.
