Two new three-dimensional (3D) multinodal Cd(II)–organic frameworks, [Cd3(dccpa)(bipy)0.5(H2O)4]·5H2O (1) and [(CH3)2NH2]2[Cd11(dccpa)4(DMF)4(H2O)8]·4H2O (2) (H6dccpa = 3,4-di(3,5-dicarboxyl phenyl) phthalic acid, bipy 4,4′-bipyridine), have been prepared fully characterized. Compound 1 possesses a 3D neutral framework with (6,6,7)-connected topology based on single trinuclear cluster, while 2 features anionic (5,6,6,10)-connected containing mixed pentanuclear clusters. Remarkably, show promising photocatalytic activities toward the degradation of rhodamine B methyl blue, which suggests that different kinds cluster units may exert impacts decomposition organic dyes.
