Four series of lanthanide coordination polymers based on the tetrabromobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate ligand: structural diversity and multifunctional properties

Abstract

Four series of lanthanide-based coordination polymers (LnCPs), namely, [Ln(Br4bdc)1.5(MeOH)3] (1Ln; Ln = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy), [Ln2(Br4bdc)2(NO3)2(MeOH)4] (2Ln; Ln = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm), [Ln(Br4bdc)(NO3)(MeOH)] (3Ln;...

Synthesis, crystal structure and properties of poly[di-μ3-chlorido-di-μ2-chlorido-bis[4-methyl-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)aniline]dicadmium(II)]

“…The design and construction of coordination polymers (CPs) have received continuous attention over the past three decades due to their intriguing functionalities (Batten et al, 2008). These materials are assembled through the coordination bonds between metal ions and organic linkers, whereby their topologies and dimensionalities are highly dependent on synthetic parameters as well as the chemical nature of starting materials (Jiajaroen et al, 2022;Li et al, 2022). Among many others, CPs of group 12 metal ions have attracted great interest for their potential applications in photoluminescence and optoelectronics (Ren et al, 2014;Shang et al, 2020).…”

Crystal structure of a new europium(III) compound based on thiopheneacrylic acid

“…This is due to the high and variable coordination number exhibited by the 4f metals and their small energy difference among various coordination geometries, which can give rise to the appearance of multiple-connected framework structures with a variety of topologies (Sairenji et al, 2016). In recent years, the design and synthesis of porous materials combining crystal engineering and coordination chemistry have attracted great attention because of their appealing structures and their potential applications in catalysis, ionexchange, molecular adsorption and chemical sensing (Cawthray et al, 2015;Pan et al, 2021;Theppitak et al, 2021;Jiajaroen et al, 2022). However, the successful construction of such materials comes only from understanding and controlling the relationship between the geometry frameworks and the involved intermolecular interactions.…”
