“…There are several Ln-CPs with glutarate as a key organic linker reported up-to-date, such as {[Nd(H 2 O) 4 (glu)]Cl} n , and {[Nd 2 (H 2 O) 2 (glu) 3 ]·2H 2 O} n . Auxiliary organic ligands are often introduced into the coordination entity in order to promote the antenna effect, which directly coordinates to Ln 3+ cation and enhances Ln 3+ emission by using their intrinsic chromophore nature of the π-conjugated aromatic system, ,, such as in [Eu III (BSA)(glu)(H 2 O) 2 ] n [Ln = Eu, Sm, Ce, Pr, Nd; HBSA = benzenesulfonic acid], [Ln III (glu)(pic)(H 2 O) 2 ] n [Ln = Sm, Tb and Eu]; Hpic = picolinic acid], [Ln III 2 (H 2 O) 2 (ip)(glu) 2 ] n [Ln = Gd, Dy, Y; H 2 ip = isophthalic acid], and [Sm 2 (H 2 O) 2 (ip)(glu) 2 ] n . The lanthanide and group 3 element coordination polymers with glu 2– and 1,10-phenanthroline as auxiliary chelating ligands [Ln(phen)(glu)Cl] n [Ln = Y, Tm; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline], [Ln 2 (phen) 2 (glu) 3 ] n [Ln = Ce, Tb, Ho], and [La 2 (glu) 3 (H 2 O) 3 ] n exhibited the effects of auxiliary organic ligands on their photoluminescence properties .…”
