Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New Pr(Ⅲ)–K(Ⅰ) Heterometallic Oxalate Coordination Polymer

A new 3D heterometallic coordination polymer, namely K2Pr2(C2O4)4·H2O]n(1), has been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. X-ray single-crystal diffraction determination reveals that 1 crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a = 12.060(4), b = 8.493(3), c = 15.776(5)(A), β = 93.235(3)°, V = 1613.4(9) 3, Z = 4, Mr = 730.12, Dc = 3.006 Mg/m3, μ = 6.581 mm-1, F(000) = 1368, the final R = 0.0283 and w R = 0.0866 for 2939 observed reflections with I 2σ(I). Complex 1 features an unusual 3D heterometallic coordination framework, in which oxalates exhibit three different coordination behaviours. Moreover, powder X-ray diffraction and thermal properties for 1 have also been investigated.
