Recently,the tetrahedral Ti4L6 cage (L =embonate) has been applied as the starting material to realize coordination assembly with transition and rare-earth ornoble metal ions through a two-step reaction.In this work,by employing the Ti4L6 cages to assemble with alkaline-earth metal ions (such as Mg2+,Ca2+ and Ba2+) under different solvothermal conditions,a series of Ti4L6-based structures from simple cages to 1D chain,2D layer and 3D framework have been synthesized and structurally characterized.In addition,thermal stability,phase purity,UV-vis absorption spectrum,the fluorescent and third-order nonlinear-optical properties are also investigated.
