To explore the coordination possibilities of anthracene‐based ligands, three cadmium(ιι) complexes with anthracene‐9‐carboxylate ( L ) and relevant auxiliary chelating or bridging ligands were synthesized and characterized: Cd 2 ( L ) 4 (2bpy) 2 (μ‐H 2 O) ( 1 ), Cd 2 ( L ) 4 (phen) 2 (μ‐H 2 O) ( 2 ), and {[Cd 3 ( L ) 6 (4bpy)]} ∞ ( 3 ) (2bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine, phen = 1,10‐phenanthroline, and 4bpy = 4,4′‐bipyridine). Structural analyses show that complexes 1 and 2 both take dinuclear structures by incorporating the chelating 2bpy or phen ligand, which are further interlinked by intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding, π ··· π stacking, and/or C–H ··· π supramolecular interactions to generate higher‐dimensional supramolecular frameworks. Complex 3 has a one‐dimensional (1D) ribbon‐like structure, which is further assembled into a two‐dimensional (2D) layer, and a three‐dimensional (3D) framework by the co‐effects of interchain C–H ··· O hydrogen‐bonding and C–H ··· π supramolecular interactions. Moreover, the luminescent properties of these complexes were further investigated in detail.
