Four novel lanthanide coordination compounds, namely, [Eu 2 (bzgluO) 3 (phen) 2 ] n ·2nH 2 O (1); [Tb 2 (bzgluO) 3 (phen) 2 ] n ·2nH 2 O (2); [Eu 2 (tsgluO) 3 (H 2 O) 4 ] n ⋅4nH 2 O (3); [Eu 2 (tsgluO) 3 (phen) 2 (H 2 O)] n ⋅2nH 2 O (4); (H 2 bzgluO = N -Benzoyl- L -glutamic acid, H 2 tsgluO = (+)- N -Tosyl- L -glutamic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and powder X-ray diffraction. Lanthanide coordination compounds 1 and 2 crystallize in the orthorhombic space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 , they are isostructural and exhibit the 2D layer structures. Complexes 3 and 4 crystallize in the triclinic space group P ī, complex 3 features a 2D layer structure, complex 4 exhibits the 1D infinite double chain. It is worth noting that the amino acid derivative ligands adopt different coordination modes in the lanthanide coordination polymers to make the crystal structures diverse. Additionally, fluorescent properties study indicates that complexes 1 and 4 show characteristic transitions of Eu3+, and the complex 2 shows characteristic transitions of Tb3+. More significantly, complexes 1 and 2 can effectively detect the tyrosine enantiomers through the fluorescence spectrometry and UV–Vis spectroscopy. • Four novel lanthanide coordination compounds, namely, [Eu 2 (bzgluO) 3 (phen) 2 ] n ·2nH 2 O (1); [Tb 2 (bzgluO) 3 (phen) 2 ] n ·2nH 2 O (2); [Eu 2 (tsgluO) 3 (H 2 O) 4 ] n ⋅4nH 2 O (3); [Eu 2 (tsgluO) 3 (phen) 2 (H 2 O)] n ⋅2nH 2 O (4)(H 2 bzgluO = N -Benzoyl- L -glutamic acid, H 2 tsgluO = (+)- N -Tosyl- L -glutamic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been successfully synthesized. • Complexes 1 and 2 can effectively detect the tyrosine enantiomers through the fluorescence spectrometry and UV–Vis spectroscopy.

• Four novel chiral coordination compounds based on N -acetyl- l -phenylalanine ligand were constructed by a mixed ligand strategy. • The structures of compounds 1 – 3 with cadmium(Ⅱ) as the center metal ion changes from 0D, 1D to 2D. • Compounds 3 and 4 can highly selectively detect Fe3+ and nitrobenzene in aqueous solutions. Four novel d10 transition metal chiral coordination compounds Cd(L -acphe) 2 (H 2 O) 2 (1), {[Cd(L -acphe) 2 (bpe)(H 2 O)]·2·5H 2 O} n (2), {[Cd(L -acphe) 2 (4,4′-bipy)(H 2 O)]·H 2 O} n (3), {[Zn 2 (L -acphe) 2 (bpp) 2 (OH)]NO 3 ·2H 2 O} n (4) (L -Hacphe = N- acetyl- l -phenylalanine, 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine, bpe = 1,2-bis (4-pyridyl)ethane, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane) have been synthesized by changing central metal ions and N-containing auxiliary ligands. Their structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and circular dichroism. The structures of compounds 1 – 3 with cadmium(Ⅱ) as the center metal ion change from 0D, 1D to 2D, ultimately compound 1 generates a 2D supramolecular structure via hydrogen bonding, while compounds 2 and 3 expand to 3D supramolecular structures through hydrogen bonding. The compound 4 with zinc(Ⅱ) as the center metal ion feature 1D chain structures, and 3D supramolecular structure of compound 4 is formed by hydrogen bonding. The present results indicate that selecting central metals with different electronic structures and introducing different N-containing auxiliary ligands could achieve the regulation of the structures of compounds. In addition, the fluorescence recognition properties of compounds 3 and 4 demonstrate that they can highly selectively detect Fe3+ and nitrobenzene in aqueous solutions through fluorescence quenching, indicating that compounds 3 and 4 are expected to become bifunctional fluorescence recognition sensors for the detection of Fe3+ ions and nitrobenzene.

• The influence of temperature on constructuring enantiomeric coordination polymers. • The influence of ancillary ligand on constructuring enantiomeric coordination polymers. • The luminescent properties of enantiomeric coordination polymers in the solid state. Three new Pb(II) coordination polymers, namely [Pb 2 (mand) 2 ] n (1), {[Pb(L -Hmand)(NO 3)(5,5′-DM-2,2′-bipy)]·2H 2 O} n (2- L ), {[Pb(D -Hmand)(NO 3)(5,5′-DM-2,2′-bipy)]·2H 2 O} n (2- D ) (H 2 mand = D / L -mandelic acid, 5,5′-DM-2,2′-bipy = 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridyl), have been prepared. Their structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses, powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analyses. Complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P -1, and displays a 2D layer structure. Complexes 2- L and 2- D are pairs of enantiomers. They crystallize in the same chiral space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 and feature a 1D chain structure. The influence of the temperature and steric-hinerance of 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-dipyridyl molecules on constructing enantiomeric Pb(II) coordination polymers based on chiral mandelic acid ligands have been demonstrated. In addition, the circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy of 2- L and 2- D exhibit obvious positive or negative Cotton effects indicating their homochirality. The luminescent properties of 1 , 2- L and 2- D in the solid state have also been investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
