Abstract

The self-assembly of a photoactive 1,1′-bis(4-carboxybenzyl)-4,4′-bipyridinium ligand with cadmium chloride in the presence of a strong electron-donating oxalate anion has successfully afforded a photochromic coordination polymer, which shows high sensitivity not only to ultraviolet-visible radiation but also to X-rays.
