Porous coordination polymers (PCPs) or metal-organic frameworks
lanthanide ions into the structures due to similar radius, charges
and coordination numbers [7]. In addition, porous Bi-containing
MOFs with fluorescent properties can be used for fluorescence-
based detection.
In light of the above, in order to study the effect of coordination con-
figuration of bismuth on the structure and their luminescent properties,
we choose four simple organic ligands with higher symmetry, 3,5-

MOFs), which consist of metal ions and organic ligands, have received
much attention during recent years due to their various architectures
1], tunable pore size [2] and attractive properties [3]. However, most
of the works are mainly focused on transition metals which are usually
-coordinated or 6-coordinated or lanthanides due to their unique

properties in fluorescence and catalysis, while MOFs constructed by
main group metals, such as Bi3 , which possess a lone pair of electrons,
are rarely reported [4].

Due to its geometrically flexible coordination environments, the
Bi3+ ion can be regarded as a novel node in the construction of
MOFs. From the viewpoint of coordination angle, the presence of
the lone pair of electrons affects the coordination angle of bismuth,
so that the polyhedral of Bi3 ion is generally distorted, which is
different from common octahedron and tetrahedron and so on [5].
From the perspective of coordination number, Bi3 ion commonly
has a variety of coordination numbers (as shown in Table S1),
which leads to unpredictability and diversity of bismuth-based
structures. For example, Norbert Stock and co-workers reported an

mers have been synthesized and structurally characterized [8]. We fur-
ther explore the luminescent properties of compound 1 as lanthanide
host and effective detection of nitro explosive.

Compound 1 is synthesized by Bi(NO
under solvothermal conditions at 105 °C [9]. Single crystal X-ray
diffraction analysis reveals that compound crystallizes in
hexagonal system with P-62m space group and features a three-di-
mensional (3D) structure composed of H pdc and H bdc mixed

ligands. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern of compound 1
confirms high purity of the synthesized samples (Fig. S1a). As
building units, it reveals unprecedented topological complexity
with only one unique node [6].
Moreover, bismuth-based MOFs always exhibit noticeable optical
and catalytic properties. Some of them can be treated as lanthanide
hosts to tune the emissive performance by doping different

shown in Fig. 1a, each Bi ion is nine-coordinated with one nitrogen
atom from pdc2 anion and eight oxygen atoms from four carboxylic
acid groups, to form a distorted hexahedron geometry. The Bi\\O
and Bi\\N distances are in the range of 2.354–2.740 Å, which are
similar to the reported results. Fig. 1a clearly shows the process of
construction of 3D structure by using mixed ligand strategy. Each
