Crystal Structure and Fluorescent Property of a 2D Coordination Polymer： [Eu（PCPA）3（H2O）]n

1 INTRODUCTION The synthesis of organic-inorganic hybrid open framework materials based on transition metals has become widespread over the past decade1～3]. In contrast to transition-metal complexes, lanthanide complexes are much less studied. Owing to large radii, high coordination numbers, special fluore- scence and magnetic properties of lanthanides, lan- thanide coordination polymers have attracted con- siderable interest4]. Different ligands, such as the N- and O-donor ligands, h…

Crystal Structure and Fluorescent Property of a 2D Coordination Polymer: [Eu(PCPA)3(H2O)]n

The title coordination polymer Eu(PCPA)3(H2O)]n (PCPA = p-chlorophenoxyacetate) has been synthesized under hydrothermal condition, determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and characterized by FT-IR, UV-VIS and fluorescent spectra. The crystal belongs to triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 7.8036(1), b = 12.7458(4), c = 14.0208(3) (A), α =81.610(8), β = 79.406(8), γ = 77.567(7)°, V = 1330.40(5) (A)3, C24H20Cl3EuO10, Mr = 726.71, Z = 2,F(000) = 716, Dc= 1.814 g/cm3, λ(MoKα) = 0.71073 (A), μ(MoKα) = 2.713 mm-1, the final R =0.0284 and wR = 0.0678 for 5529 observed reflections with 1 ＞ 2σ(Ⅰ). The europium ions are located in a nine-coordinate environment. PCPA ions with two different coordination modes connect the metal ions to form 1D zigzag chains which are arranged to generate 2D supramolecular layers by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The luminescence properties of the rare-earth ions are studied in this paper.
