A novel 2D metal-organic framework poly[tetraaquatriglutaratodicerium(III) decahydrate] with an open framework structure has been successfully grown by single gel diffusion technique. Sodium metasilicate was used for gel preparation. The structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in orthorhombic space group Pnma and possesses a structure consisting of [CeO 10 ] polyhedra and H 2 O molecules with hydrophilic hexagonal channels. The crystals were further characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and UV-Visible spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry. The luminescent property and magnetic susceptibility of the complex were also investigated.

Good-quality single crystals of polydistrontiumdimalatepentahydrate, a two-dimensional porous metal-organic framework, were successively grown by gel diffusion technique. Sodium metasilicate was used for gel preparation. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the compound crystallizes in triclinic space group P-1. The functional groups present in the crystals were identified by Fourier transform-infrared analysis. Elemental, powder X-ray diffraction and UV-visible spectral analyses of the compound were also performed. Thermal stability of the grown crystals was analyzed by thermogravimetry. Dielectric analyses of the title compound were conducted at room temperature in the frequency range of 400 Hz–4 MHz.
