Abstract

Acentric three-dimensional coordination polymers bis(isonicotinato)zinc (1) and bis(4-pyridylacrylato)cadmium⋅H2O (2) were synthesized under hydro(solvo)thermal conditions; they exhibit a threefold (see picture) and fivefold diamondoid structure, respectively. Both 1 and 2 are active for second harmonic generation and exhibit remarkable thermal stability.
