Nitroaromatic‐detecting Layered Cadmium Cyclohexyldicarboxylate Coordination Polymers with Long‐Spanning Dipyridyl Pillaring Ligands

Three new divalent cadmium coordination polymers containing cyclohexyldicarboxylate and pillaring dipyridylamide ligands have been prepared and structurally characterized via single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. All three compounds exhibited layered structures, but with different topologies and interpenetration schemes.
