Through adjustment of the pH value of the reaction system, two series of 3 D lanthanide(III)-copper(I) coordination polymers, namely [Ln2(na)7Cu6Br5(H2O)2] [Ln=La ( 1), Ce ( 2), Pr ( 3), Nd ( 4), Sm ( 5), Eu ( 6), Gd ( 7), Tb ( 8)] and [La2(na)7Cu3Br2(H2O)2]⋅H2O ( 9) (na−=nicotinate), are synthesized hydrothermally and characterized fully. It is worth nothing that these two series of heterometallic compounds are constructed from similar ladder-like Ln-organic chains, but different copper(I) halide clusters. The luminescence properties of the compounds with Nd ( 4), Eu ( 6), and Tb ( 8) are also investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The hydrothermal reaction of rare earth nitrates, CuCN, 2,7-naphthalenedisulfonate (2,7-nds), and isonicotinic acid (Hina) affords a new family of 3-D heterometallic 3d–4f coordination polymers, [Ln2Cu(2,7-nds)2(ina)4(H2O)4]·4H2O (Ln = Nd (1), Sm (2), Eu (3), Gd (4); 2,7-nds = 2,7-naphthalenedisulfonate, Hina = isonicotinic acid). Complexes1–4are structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy (IR), powder X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analyses. X-ray crystal structure analyses reveal that1–4are isomorphous with dinuclear subunit [Sm2(ina)4] binding Cu ions to generate 2-D networks. Such 2-D networks are pillared by linking 2,7-nds ligands to result in the 3-D layer-pillared Ln(III)–Cu(II) coordination architectures. The valence of Cu salts changed in the reaction. In addition, the luminescence properties of1–3and the magnetic properties of3and4have also been investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Two kinds of three-dimensional (3D) coordination frameworks from monometallic to heterometallic, including a charming 3D monometallic complex, namely, [Eu2(mpda)3(H2O)4]n (1) and the first series of novel 3D heterometallic 4d-4f coordination frameworks based on 2,6-dimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid, namely, [Ln2Cd2(mpda)2(bdc)2(SO4)2(H2O)6]n [Ln=Sm(2), Eu(3), Gd(4), Tb(5), Dy(6); mpda=2,6-dimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid; bdc=1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid] have been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized. Crystal 1 is featured by its interesting 3D chain-layer construction which is formed by the alternative arrangement of chains and layers and exhibits 2-nodal 5, 6-connected 3D network with the Schlafli symbol of {33.43.55.64}{36.46.53}. Complexes 2-6 are isostructural and it reveals that these 3D heterometallic compounds are firstly built by H2mpda ligand. What is worth mentioning is that anionic ligand SO42− plays a crucial function in the construction building. The two-dimensional (2D) lanthanide-transition heterometallic bilayers [Ln2Cd2(mpda)2(bdc)2]n are pillared by SO42− subunits forming mixed-ligand complexes with a pillared-layer 3D structure. Complexes 2-6 feature 4-nodal 3, 4, 5, 6-connected 3D frameworks with {4.82}{4.84.10}{42.810.102.12}{42.88} topology. All the complexes are characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR spectroscopy, Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). Furthermore, the luminescence properties of compounds 1, 3, and 5 and the magnetic properties of complexes 4 and 6 were also investigated in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
