A novel three-dimensional 3d-4f metal-organic framework (MOF), {[(CH3)2NH2]2[Zn2Gd2(FDA)6(DMF)2]·2DMF}n (Zn-Gd) (H2FDA = furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid) assembled with furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid has been isolated and characterized by infrared spectra, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structure analysis indicates this MOF is an interesting three-dimensional 8-connected bcu body centered cubic topological net. Moreover, Zn-Gd MOF shows a tolerance towards moisture and the corresponding solvents, demonstrating the excellent chemical stability. The magnetic property of Zn-Gd MOF suggests a weak antiferromagnetic coupling interaction between adjacent Gd(III) ions in Zn-Gd MOF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
