Reactions of Cd(NO3)2 and the different aromatic ditopic acids, five metal coordination polymers (MCPs) have been synthesized and characterized. The structural studies show the MCPs constructed from the linear trinuclear Cd3(COO)6/8 secondary building units (SBUs). Owing to the different connect fashions of the SBUs, five MCPs feature non-porous or microporous framework, as well as three different type topologies respectively: 4 ×4 sheet, bcg or bcu net. ©2013 Elsevier Inc.
