A multifunctional calcium coordination polymer (Ca-CP) formulated as [(CH 3 ) 2 NH 2 ][Ca(Me 2 tcpbH)(H 2 O)] ( 1 ) has been synthesized and characterized. Compound 1 features a robust and novel three-dimensional (3D) network with cage-like cavities. The high thermal and moisture stability of the ti...
