Five Cd(II)/Zn(II) complexes [Cd(1,2-bdc)(pz){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O)]{sub n} (1), [Cd1Cd2(btec)(H{sub 2}O){sub 6}]{sub n} (2), [Cd(3,4-pdc) (H{sub 2}O)]{sub n} (3), [Zn(2,5-pdc)(H{sub 2}O){sub 4}]{center_dot}2H{sub 2}O (4) and {l_brace} [Zn(2,5-pdc)(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}]{center_dot}H{sub 2}O{r_brace} {sub n} (5) (H{sub 2}bdc=1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, pz=pyrazole, H{sub 4}btec=1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid, H{sub 2}pdc=pyridine-dicarboxylic acid) were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, surface photovoltage spectroscopy, XRD, TG analysis, IR and UV-vis spectra and elemental analysis. Structural analyses show that complexes 1-3 are 1D, 2D and 3D Cd(II) coordination polymers, respectively. Complex 4 is a mononuclear Zn(II) complex. Complex 5 is a 3D Zn(II) coordination polymer. The surface photoelectric properties of complexes were investigated by SPS. The results indicate that all complexes exhibit photoelectric responses in the range of 300-600 nm, which reveals that they all possess certain photoelectric conversion properties. By the comparative analyses, it can be found that the species and coordination micro-environment of central metal ion, the species and property of ligands affect the intensity and scope of photoelectric response. - Graphical abstract: Five Cd(II)/Zn(II) complexes have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized. The photoelectric properties were studied with SPS. The species and coordination micro-environment of central metal ion, the species and property of ligands all affect the photoelectric responses. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Five Cd/Zn complexes have been synthesized and characterized. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The SPS results indicate they possess obvious photoelectric conversion property. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The species and coordination environment of central metal ion affect SPS. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The species and property of ligands affect SPS. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer By the energy-band theory and the crystal filed theory, the SPS are analyzed and assigned.
