A 4d-4f heterometallic coordination polymer, [AgLa(pydc) 2 ]·3H 2 O (1) (H 2 pydc = pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylic acid), has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions, and further characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 features a three-dimensional (3D) framework containing one-dimensional (1D) channels occupied by free water molecules, which is constructed from
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.
