Novel 3D LnIII−CuI Supramolecular Architecture Based on 2D MOFs with (6,3) Topology

Two- and three-dimensional lanthanide-based coordination polymers assembled by the synergistic effect of various lanthanide radii and flexibility of a new binicotinate-containing ligand: in situ synthesis, structures, and properties

The design and synthesis of ten novel coordination polymers was investigated. They have three structural types from 3D to 2D due to the synergistic effect of lanthanide contraction with diverse coordination modes and conformations of the ligand.

Synthesis, characterization and properties of a family of lead(ii)–organic frameworks based on a multi-functional ligand 2-amino-4-sulfobenzoic acid exhibiting auxiliary ligand-dependent dehydration–rehydration behaviours

A simplified representation of the architectures and auxiliary ligand-dependent dehydration–rehydration behaviours of 1–4.

Solvothermal synthesis, crystal structure, and properties of lanthanide-organic frameworks based on thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid

A series of lanthanide-organic framework coordination polymers, {[La(2)(TDC)(2)(NO(3))(H(2)O)(4)](OH)·5H(2)O}(n) (1) and [Ln(TDC)(NO(3))(H(2)O)](n) (TDC = thiophene- 2, 5- dicarboxylic acid; Ln = Nd(2), Sm(3), Eu(4), Gd(5), Tb(6), Dy(7), Ho(8), Er(9), Yb(10)) have been synthesized by solvothermal reaction and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, TG analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and power X-ray diffraction. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis results show that 1 displays a 3-D porous framework with (3,7)-connected {4(10).6(11)}{4(3)} topology. The compounds 2-10 crystallized in the same P2(1)/c space group and exhibits a (3,6)-connected {4.6(2)}(2){4(2).6(10).8(3)} topology, Right-handed and left-handed helical chains coexist in the 2-D layer structure. The luminescence properties of 2-10 and the magnetic properties of 5,7,8,9 were investigated.

Poly[hexa-aqua-hexa-kis-(μ-pyridine-2,4-dicarboxyl-ato)tricopper(II)dieuropium(III)]

The asymmetric unit of the title heterometallic coordination polymer, [Cu(3)Eu(2)(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(6)(H(2)O)(6)](n), contains one Eu(III) and two Cu(II) atoms, three pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylate (pdc)(2-) anions and three water molecules. One Cu(II) atom is located on an inversion center and is N,O-chelated by two pdc(2-) anions in the equatorial plane and further coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms from another two pdc anions in the axial positions, with an elongated octa-hedral geometry [Cu-O = 2.409 (3) Å in the axial direction]; the other Cu atom is N,O-chelated by two pdc anions in the coordination basal plane and coordinated by a carboxyl O atom at the apical position with a distorted square-pyramidal geometry [Cu-O = 2.359 (3) Å in the apical direction]. The Eu atom is eight-coordinated with a distorted square-anti-prismatic geometry formed by five carboxyl-ate O atoms from five pdc anions and three water mol-ecules. The carboxyl-ate anions bridge adjacent Eu and Cu atoms, forming the coordination polymer. Inter- and intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding occurs in the structure. π-π stacking further consolidates the crystal structure, the centroid-centroid distance between parallel pyridine rings being 3.367 (2) Å.

Poly[mu(8)-4,4'-bipyridine-2,2',6,6'-tetracarboxylato-dilead(II)]

The Pb(II) cation in the title compound, [Pb(2)(C(14)H(4)N(2)O(8))](n), is seven-coordinated by one N atom and six O atoms from four 4,4'-bipyridine-2,2',6,6'-tetracarboxylate (BPTCA(4-)) ligands. The geometric centre of the BPTCA(4-) anion lies on an inversion centre. Each pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate moiety of the BPTCA(4-) ligand links four Pb(II) cations via its pyridyl N atom and two carboxylate groups to form two-dimensional sheets. The centrosymmetric BPTCA(4-) ligand then acts as a linker between the sheets, which results in a three-dimensional metal-organic framework.
