A Series of Three‐Dimensional Rare Earth Coordination Polymers with Two Binary Carboxylate as Mixed‐Ligand: Syntheses,Structures, Properties of [LnIII(mal)(ox)0.5(H2O)2]·2H2O (Ln = Pr,Nd, and La)

A series of lanthanide coordination polymers, [Ln^III(mal)(ox)_0.5(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O (Ln = Pr ( 1 ), Nd ( 2 ), and La ( 3 ); H₂mal= maleic acid; H₂ox = oxalic acid), were synthesized firstly by the reaction of Ln^III nitrate salts with maleic anhydrid and oxalic acid under hydrothermal conditions and were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. X‐ray diffraction analyses reveal that they are crystallized in orthorhombic space group Fddd. Lanthanide metal center atom (Ln) and its corresponding centrosymmtric atom link through two chelating/bridging bidentate carboxyl groups of maleic acid ligands to form an infinite inorganic rod‐shaped building unit. These rod‐shaped building units were linked to each other through the carbon atoms of the maleate anions on the [110] plane to form lanthanide‐maleic acid layers. The oxalic acid pillared lanthanide‐maleic acid layers with intersected channels by free water molecules consist of a 3D framework structure. The thermogravimetric analyses of 1 – 3 were discussed in detail. The courses of the thermal decomposition of complexes are similar.

New structures in the bi­pyridine–copper(II) nitrate–methanol system: [(bpy)2Cu(NO3)]NO3·CH3OH and [(bpy)2Cu(NO3)]NO3

Reaction of 2,2′‐bi­pyridine (bpy) and copper(II) nitrate in methanol results in two complexes, namely light‐blue bis(2,2′‐bi­pyridine)­nitrato­copper(II) nitrate methanol solvate, [Cu(NO₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]NO₃·CH₃OH, (I), which is unstable in air, and the product of its decomposition, catena‐poly­[[[bis(2,2′‐bi­pyridine)copper(II)]‐μ‐nitrato‐O:O′] nitrate], {[Cu(NO₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]NO₃}_n, (II). The crystal structures of both compounds were determined from one crystal at room temperature. Later, the structure of (I) was redetermined at low temperature. In (I) and (II), the Cu atom is coordinated by two bpy and one or two nitrate ions, respectively. The second nitrate ion in (I), along with the methanol solvent mol­ecule, is found in the outer coordination sphere, not bonded to Cu. The nitrate in (I) is chelating, while in (II), it bridges (bpy)₂Cu complexes, forming a one‐dimensional chain structure. The Cu cation in (II) lies on a twofold axis and the uncoordinated NO₃^? ion is located close to a twofold axis and is therefore disordered. Compound (I) converts into (II) upon loss of solvent.     

Bis(di‐2‐pyridylamine‐κ2N2,N2′)(nitrato‐κ2O,O′)nickel(II) nitrate
