Abstract: | AbstractTwo C3-symmetric ligands, 4,4′,4″-1,3,5-benzenetriyltris(carbonylimino)]trisbenzoic acid (H3BTA) and benzene-1,3,5-trisbenzoic acid (H3BTB), were used to coordinate Er(III) and In(III). Reactions of the two C3-symmetric ligands with Er(NO3)3·6H2O and In(NO3)2·3H2O under solvothermal conditions resulted in formation of two new three-dimensional porous coordination polymers, Er(BTA)(DMF)](DMF)2(H2O) (1) and In(H2O)(BTB)](DMF)2 (2). In addition, in vitro anticancer activities of 1 and 2 on three human glioma cells (SHG-44, SWO-38, and TJ905) were determined. |
