In 1, the Cd(II) ions are bridged by imidazolate ligands to generate 1D chain structure. Neighbouring 1D chains were linked by [Pd(CN)4]2- ions to form 3D framework. In 2, the metal ions are bridged by cyanide ligands to generate 2D [Cd2Pd2(mu -CN)4]n network. Catalytic peroxidative oxidation activity of 1 and 2 was examined on the oxidation of benzyl alcohol using tertiary-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) as the oxygen source. The compound 1 exhibited over 90 % product conversion at 80 degrees C in 24-hour reaction time. In addition, the catalyst exhibited high selectivity towards benzaldehyde and no over-oxidation product (benzoic acid) was detected.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessTetracyanopalladate(II) complexCadmium(II) complexImidazole complex3D coordination polymerAlcohol oxidationArticle26410.1016/j.poly.2024.1172632-s2.0-85207373942Q2WOS:001348607100001Q2
