Four new complexes 4) (2-HFBA: 2-fluorobenzoic acid; 4,4Ј-bpy: 4,4Ј-bipyridine; 2,2Ј-bpy: 2,2Ј-bipyridine; phen: 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex 1 is a dimeric molecule with a one-dimensional supramolecular structure formed by hydrogen bonds. Complex 2 is an infinite one-dimensional polymer chain formed by bridging carboxylato groups; its 2D framework structure is formed by hydrogen bonds. The structure of complex 3 contains three independent binuclear molecules in the asymmetric unit. In two of them, two Tb 3+ ions are held together by four 2-FBA groups, with two of them in a bidentate-bridging mode and the other two in a chelating-bridging mode. In the third, two Tb 3+ ions are held together by four 2-FBA groups, all of which are in the bidentate-bridging mode. One 2-FBA group and one 2,2Ј-bpy chelate to one Tb 3+ ion, resulting in coordination numbers of the central ter-
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.
