Lanthanide-Organic Frameworks Based on {Ln<Subscript>4</Subscript>(μ<Subscript>3</Subscript>-OH)<Subscript>4</Subscript>(μ<Subscript>2</Subscript>-OH)<Subscript>2</Subscript>} Cluster Units

Abstract  

Three novel lanthanide-organic frameworks: [Ln₂(pyba)₃(μ₃-OH)₂(μ₂-OH)(H₂O)] _n (Ln = Er (1), Y (2), Dy (3) Hpyba = 4-pyridin-4-yl-benzoic acid) have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Structure analysis shows that each {Ln₄(μ₃-OH)₄(μ₂-OH)₂} cluster units interconnect to form 1-D chains, which are further linked by π–π interactions to make a 3-D supramolecular network structure. Furthermore, the IR, PXRD and TGA of compounds 1–3 were also studied.

It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with cell parameters a = 9.026(3) Å, b = 16.431(5) Å, c = 18.195(6) Å, α = 72.289(4)^∘, β = 87.498(4)^∘, γ = 82.775(5)^∘, V = 2550.1(13) Å⁻³, D_c = 1.419 Mg m⁻³, and Z = 2.

Two anions have different conformations. Twelve H atoms of six coordinated water molecules, as donors, form hydrogen bonds with four oxygen atoms of sulfo-groups of two anions and eight oxygen atoms of eight lattice water molecules. In addition, π < eqid1 > ⋅ < eqid2 > π stacking interactions exist in the crystal structure, which together with hydrogen bonds lead to supramolecular formation with a three-dimensional network.

Glass Formation in the Ternary System La<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>–As<Subscript>2</Subscript>S<Subscript>3</Subscript>–Er<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>

The boundaries of the glass formation region in the ternary system La₂O₃–As₂S₃–Er₂O₃ were found. Transparent glass of composition (La₂O₃)_0.03(As₂S₃)0.90(Er₂O₃)0.07 was studied by X-ray photoelectron and Raman spectroscopy. The intensities of the bands characterizing As–S, La–O, and Er–O bonds increased, and these bands were shifted toward higher energies. This was due to an increase in the covalence of these bonds and probably due to the formation of new bonds in the glasses. Samples in the glass formation region are resistant at 300 K to air, water, and organic solvents.
