Two　new　luminescent　metal-organic　frameworks　(MOFs),　namely　{[Cd(μ2-CN)1/2(1,4-BDC)(H2O)]2(p-tr2Ph)}2H2O　(1)　and　[Cd2(1,4-BDC)2(H2O)2]2(p-tr2Ph)　(2)　(1,4-H2BDC　=　1,4-dicarboxybenzene,　p-tr2Ph　=　1,4-phenylene-4,4’-bis(1,2,4-triazole))　have　been　solvothermally　synthesized　and　characterized.　Single-crystal　structural　analysis　reveals　that　compounds　1　and　2　show　3-fold　and　4-fold　interpenetrated　3-dimensional　framework　structures,　respectively.　Interestingly,　1　and　2　show　unique　luminescent　emissions　when　they　were　excited　under　ultraviolet　light　with　wavelength　of　330　nm.　For　1,　the　luminescent　emission　intensity　decreased　as　the　temperature　rose.　While　for　2,　the　luminescent　emission　intensity　firstly　increased　as　the　temperature　rose　from　80　to　130　K　but　it　decreased　when　the　temperature　is　above　130　K.　In　addition,　the　temperature-dependent　luminescent　emissions　of　both　compounds　show　good　linearity　and　reversibility　in　a　wide　range　of　temperatures,　suggesting　that　1　and　2　can　serve　as　potential　thermometers　in　specific　areas.　©　2022　Elsevier　Inc.
