The solvothermal combination of trivalent lanthanide metal precursors with a squarate ligand (H2C4O4, 3,4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione) has afforded the preparation of a family of eight new coordination polymers, [Ln2(C4O4)3(H2O)4] (Ln = La–Nd, Ho) (1–5), [Ln2(C4O4)3(H2O)8] (Ln = Er, Dy) (6, 7), and Tb2(C4O4)2(C2O4)(H2O)4 (8). Structural analysis reveals that the squarate ligand displays versatile coordination modes to generate novel 2D and 3D frameworks. Three new coordination modes, a bidentate/monodentate μ3 and two bidentate/monodentate μ4 coordination modes, are first reported. In addition, the variable-temperature magnetic properties of the Pr, Nd, Ho, Dy, and Tb complexes, the solid-state near-infrared luminescence spectra of the Pr, Nd, Ho, and Er complexes, and their thermogravimetric analyses are discussed.
A novel magnetic graphene oxide-based surface imprinted polymer (Fe3O4@GO@IIP) was synthesized by surface imprinting technology to selectively adsorb Ni(II) from aqueous solution. The imprinted polymer was characterized by FT-IR, XRD,...
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.
