description In recent years, several coordination polymers of different dimensions and metal–organic frameworks were tested and expected to be good candidates for closing the gap between organic and plastic scintillators on the one hand side and inorganic scintillators on the other hand side. In the present work, we report the synthesis and characterization of a novel one-dimensional scintillating coordination polymer based on cadmium(II), <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>′-(1,4-phenylenedicarbonyl)di-glycinate, and 2,2′-bipyridine. Crystals could be obtained from water–methanol solutions and the structure was determined by single-crystal diffraction. The coordination polymer exhibits scintillation under X-ray excitation and laser as well as UV-light induced photoluminescence with fast decay times. Photoluminescence and X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) properties and decay times were performed using a two-dimensional photon counting streak camera system with a time resolution up to 20 ps. The non-covalent interactions and supramolecular assemblies as a potential multiplier of the scintillating effect were investigated with the aid of a Hirshfeld surface analysis. The quality and phase purity of the used crystals and pellets was clarified by powder diffraction and Rietveld refinement.
