Abstract

The solvothermal reaction of Cd(NO3)2·4H2O and KNO3 with 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid (m-H2BDC) in the presence of D- or L-2-amino-1-propanol (D- or L-APA) in ethanol led to two enantiomorphic Cd(II)/K(I) coordination polymers, namely [Cd3K3(D-HAPA)3(m-BDC)6(EtOH)3]n (1D) and [Cd3K3(L-HAPA)3(m-BDC)6(EtOH)3]n (1L). They are 3D coordination polymers with multi-walled tubular channels constructed from a novel homochiral triple concentric helical structure in which a single helix {CdK–BDC}n is wrapped by unequal double-helical chains {Cd–BDC}n. Both complexes are NLO-active with weak SHG efficiencies.
