Hydrothermal reactions of lanthanide oxides with a rigid ligand (2,3-f)-pyrazino(1,10)phenanthroline-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (H2PPDA) yielded 12 novel lanthanide coordination polymers with formulas [Ln(HPPDA)(PPDA)(H2O)2]·2H2O (Ln = Pr, 1·Pr; Nd, 2·Nd; Sm, 3·Sm; Eu, 4·Eu; Gd, 5·Gd; Tb, 6·Tb; and Dy, 7·Dy) and [Ln2 (PPDA)3 (H2O)4]·nH2O (Ln = Pr, n = 2, 8·Pr; Ln = Nd, n = 3, 9·Nd; Ln = Sm, n = 2,10·Sm; Ln = Eu, n = 1, 11·Eu; Ln = Gd, n = 1, 12·Gd). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that they present two different structural types. Type I for 1·Pr−7·Dy possesses a two-dimensional 4·4 network, whereas type II for 8·Pr−12·Gd exhibits a two-dimensional framework with 3·6 topology. A rationalization for the synthetic pathways that lead to the formation of type I and type II is described. The synthetic reactions gave pure type I as the final product with the emergence of a small amount of type II as an intermediate within the reaction process. Photoluminescence, thermogravimetric, and magnetic analysis of type I were investigated.
= 2,6-bis[(3-methoxysalicylidene)hydrazinocarbonyl]pyridine, H 6 Bcshp = 2,6-bis[(3carboxylsalicylidene)hydrazinocarbonyl]pyridine), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Due to the different anions, solvents and ligands used in the syntheses, complexes 1-4 exhibit diverse supramolecular structures constructed from the corresponding trinuclear copper units via H-bonds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
