Employing tetracarboxylate and imidazole mixed ligands to react with different transition meat salts afford two new 3D coordination polymers, {[Zn2(BPTC)(BBI)2]·(H2O)3·DMSO}n (1) and {[Cd2(BPTC)(BBI)2]·H2O}n (2) (H4BPTC = biphenyl-3,3′,4,4′-tetracarboxylic acid, BBI = 1,1′-(1,4-butanediyl)bis(imidazole)). Both these two coordination polymers are 4-connected network topologies. Compound 1 features a unprecedented 3-nodal (4,4,4)-connected network topology with the point symbol {64·82}, and 2 displays a (4,4)-connected binodal network bearing new topology with the point symbol of {72·84}2{73·83}. Additionally, thermal stability and photoluminescence properties of 1 and 2 were investigated.
