Syntheses, Crystal Structures and Photophysical Properties of a Series of LnIII (Ln = Sm, Tb, Pr) Coordination Polymers

Lanthanide complexes with 3,4,5-triethoxybenzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline: synthesis, crystal structures, thermal decomposition mechanism and phase transformation kinetics

In the temperature range of 280 to 350 K, there is a solid-to-solid phase transition for each complex, which is further evidenced by four thermal circulating processes with the scanning rate of 10 K min⁻¹.
