A series of new two-dimensional (2D) lanthanide(III) coordination polymers, namely {[Ln₂(μ ₂-HTFMIDC)₃(DMA)₄] · 2H₂O} _n [Ln = Pr (1); Nd (2); Sm (3); Eu (4); H₃TFMIDC = 2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, DMA = N,N′-dimethylacetamide] for type I and {[Ln₂(μ ₂-HTFMIDC)₃(DMA)₂(H₂O)₂] · DMA} _n [Ln = Eu (5); Gd (6)] for type II, have been successfully prepared under solvothermal conditions and structurally characterized for the first time. Both two types of structures exhibit similar 2D honeycomb-like networks, which are constructed by the linkages of μ ₂-HTFMIDC^2? bis-(bidentate) bridging ligands and Ln(III) metal centers. However, slightly different ABAB stacking fashions of the 2D layers and distinctly different hydrogen bonding interactions between the neighboring 2D layers are observed in crystal structures of type I and type II, which may be attributed to the lanthanide contraction effect. Meanwhile, the solid-state luminescent properties of 4 and 5 have been also investigated.

Thermal stabilities and crystal structures of two supramolecular microporous frameworks based on carboxylate-dipyridyl mix-ligands

The mix-ligand system of 5-(4-carboxy-2-nitrophenoxy)isophthalic acid (HСn-H₂Ipa) and dipyridyl-type molecule produces two M(II) porous coordination polymers, namely {[Zn(HCn-Ipa)(Dpe)(H₂O)] · 2H₂O} _n (I) and {[Co(Cn-HIpa)(Dpe)(H₂O)₃] · 2.5H₂O} _n (II) (Dpe = 1,2-di(4-pyridyl) ethylene). Structure determinations reveal that two complexes feature different one-dimensional (1D) polymers assembling into supramolecular microporous frameworks with different thermal stabilities. The 3D supramolecular frameworks of complex I show relatively lower stability, which can be caused by relatively larger porous cavity absent of the strong hydrogen bonds interaction, whereas thick-layer blocks in complex II are cohered further together by H-bonding interactions to form its 3D supramolecular network with relatively higher stability, indicating extraordinarily stable H-bonding systems; CIF files CCDC nos. 966919 (I) and 966920 (II).
