Abstract
Significantly, complex 1 has effective photocatalyst for the degradation of organic dyes (MB/MV/RhB) and displays sensitive and selective sensing against nitrofurazone (NZF) with limit of detection (LOD).

•A new 3D supramolecular CP displays different supramolecular interactions.•The CP as photocatalysts revealed efficient photocatalytic activity for Rh B.•The main degradation intermediates were identified by LC-MS analysis.•1 displayed sensitive and selective sensing against nitrofurazone with limit of detection.
A new Cd(II)-based metal–organic framework, namely {[Cd(H3L)(bb)(μ2-H2O)]·H2O}n (1) (H5L = 3,5-bis(3,4-dicarboxylphenoxy)benzoic acid and bb = 4,4′-bis(imidazolyl)biphenyl), was hydrothermally prepared. 1 tackled effectively photocatalytic capacity to defeat the dye Rhodamine B (Rh B). Furthermore, The sensing experiments indicated that the 1 displayed sensitive and selective sensing against nitrofurazone (NFZ) with limit of detection (LOD) of 1.34 ppm and Ksv value of 1.33 × 103 M−1. The plausible mechanism worked by 1 for the catalytic degradation toward Rh B was conducted and suggested by the LC-MS studies.
