Eight lanthanide coordination polymers (Ln(,2-chdc)(form)(H2O)) have been solvothermally synthesized from the reaction of 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid (denoted as 1,2-chdcH(2)) with trivalent metallic cations (Ce3+ (1), Pr3+ (2), Nd3+ (3), Sm3+ (4), Eu3+ (5), Gd3+ (6), Tb3+ (7) and Dy3+ (8); from a nitrate or chloride source) in a mixed H2O/N, N-dimethylformamide solvent (DMF) at T = 100-150 degrees C (form = formate ligand). Their crystal structures are similar and built up from nine-fold coordinated lanthanide cations (LnO(9) - tricapped trigonal prism), linked to each other through three Ln-O-Ln bonds (face sharing connection mode of LnO(9) polyhedra) in order to generate infinite ribbons. The coordination sphere of the lanthanide center is ensured by oxygen atoms from the 1,2-chdcH(2) ligand and formate groups. The latter come from the partial solvothermal decomposition of DMF solvent. The resulting compounds exhibit a layered structure with infinite chains of LnO(9), connected to each other via the ditopic 1,2-chdc linker. Luminescence studies (steady-state excitation, emission and time-resolved decay measurements) have been performed on the compounds bearing Ce3+, Nd3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Tb3+, and Dy3+ cations. The Nd compound (3) was found to be efficient for isoprene (methyl-2-butadiene, CH2 = CH-C(Me)= CH2) polymerization despite the presence of water in its molecular structure, affording a highly cis stereo-regular polymer
Abstract1,3‐Butadiene is involved in a photocatalyzed amidoarylation reaction that allows the synthesis of N‐allyl amides. The reaction was evaluated on a wide range of aryl diazonium salts and nitriles as co‐reactants. Selectivity issues were studied from the help of a computational approach.magnified image
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
