Four novel lanthanide(iii)âcopper(ii) heterometallic coordination polymers based on six-coordinated Cu centres and square-planar tetranuclear {Ln4} SBUs with sulfate as an auxiliary bridging ligand, namely, [Ln2Cu0.5(2,6-pydc)2(2-pyc)(SO4)(H2O)2]·(H2O) (Ln = Nd 1, Sm 2, Eu 3, Gd 4; 2,6-pydc = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate, 2-pyc = pyridine-2-carboxylate), have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1â4are isostructural and present a rarely reported binodal (4,6)-connected fscnet with the Cu centre as a four-connected node and the tetranuclear {Ln4} SBUs as six-connected nodes. As far as we know, a fscnet in hetero-LnâTM coordination polymers has never been reported. This work provides a good example of incorporating {Ln4} SBUs and Cu centres to construct a heterometallic binodal net. Notably, the 2-pyc ligand was in situgenerated by decarboxylation of the 2,6-pydc ligand under hydrothermal conditions. Furthermore, the IR, TGA, PXRD, luminescent and magnetic properties were also investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
