Four M II (M=Zn II , Cd II , Hg II ) coordination polymers were designed and synthesized based on two pyridine N ‐oxide bridging ligands: 3,5‐bis(4‐pyridyl)pyridine N ‐oxide and 2,6‐bis(3‐pyridyl)pyridine N ‐oxide. The resulting polymers all feature a one‐dimensional chain motif and contain free pyridyl moieties. More importantly, they exhibit interesting ligand‐centered (pyridyl N ‐oxide) catalytic behavior, and can be used as highly heterogeneous catalysts to promote the Knoevenagel condensation reaction under ambient conditions.
