Four Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes with the in situ-generated ligand of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazolate (AmTAZ{sup -}) were isolated from the solvothermal reactions of the corresponding Cd(II) or Zn(II) salts with 5-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid (AmTAZAc). Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. [Zn(AmTAZ)(CH{sub 3}COO)] (1) presents a two-dimensional framework constructed from Zn(II) ions and {mu}{sub 3}-AmTAZ{sup -} ligands. A remarkable feature of [Zn{sub 4}(AmTAZ){sub 4}(SO{sub 4})(OH)(C{sub 2}O{sub 4}){sub 0.5}].2H{sub 2}O (2) is the construction of the building units of octagonal cylinders which interact with each other by sharing one face or overlapping, resulting in the formation of a three-dimensional framework with three kinds of 1D channels. [Cd(AmTAZ)Br] (3) crystallizes in a chiral space group P2{sub 1}2{sub 1}2{sub 1}, giving a homochiral three-dimensional framework with two types of helical channels (left- and right-handed). Different from the others, the 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole molecules in [Cd(AmTAZH)SO{sub 4}] (4) behave as neutral {mu}{sub 2}-2,4-bridges to connect the two-dimensional CdSO{sub 4} sheets into a three-dimensional framework. Of all, 2 and 3 display different fluorescent properties probably due to different metal ions, coordination environments and structural topologies. - Graphical abstract: The solvothermal reactions of Cd(II) and Zn(II) salts bearing different anions with 5-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid (AmTAZAc) produced four Cd(II) and Zn(II) MOFs with the in situ-generated 3-amino-1,2,4-triazolate (AmTAZ{sup -}) ion as ligand, which display different structural topologies and fluorescent properties.
