Two new Cd(II) Coordination polymers: photocatalytic performance along with therapeutic activity in children with lobar pneumonia

This paper reports two new Cd(II)-based coordination polymers which are formulated as {[(CH 3 ) 2 NH 2 ][Cd(btc)]} n ·n(DMF) ( 1 ) as well as [Cd 3 (btc) 2 (2-bpmh)(H 2 O) 6 ]} n ·3n(H 2 O) ( 2 ) (H 3 btc = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, 2-bpmh =  N , N -bis-pyridin-2-ylmethylene-hydrazine) under the solvothermal reaction conditions, compounds 1 – 2 exhibit intense luminescence emission and excellent photocatalytic property for MB decomposition under the light irradiation of UV. For the children lobar pneumonia treatment, we use ELISA detection kits to determine the TNF-α and IL-1β levels released by the lung epithelial cells. In addition to this, we can also determine the NF-κB’s activation levels by real-time RT-PCR.
