| Abstract: | A chainlike coordination polymer [Gd(dca)3(phen)2(H2O)]n (dca = dicyanamide,phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been synthesized, and its crystal structure was characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/n with a = 10.6581(13), b = 15.6129(16), c = 17.733(3) (A), β = 90.499(5)°, V = 2950.8(7) (A)3, Z = 4,C30H18GdN13O, Mr = 733.82, Dc= 1.652 g/cm3, F(000) = 1444, λ(MoKα) = 0.71073 (A),μ = 2.297 mm-1, R = 0.0258 and wR = 0.0616 for 4570 observed reflections (I ＞ 2σ(Ⅰ)). In this complex, the gadolinium atom is nine-coordinated by four dca anions, two chelated phen ligands and one H2O molecule in a distorted tricapped trigonal prism. Two bridging dca anions connect the Gd(Ⅲ) ions yielding chainlike polymers that are linked by hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions to form a three-dimensional network. |
