Abstract

Three novel 3D lanthanide organic frameworks [Ln 2(H 2O) 3(HMImDC) 2(OX)]·4H 2O (Ln = Sm(1), Eu(2) and Gd(3), H 3MImDC = 2-methyl-4,5-imidazoledicarboxylic acid, OX = oxalic acid) have been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, Infrared spectra (IR), thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), powder X-ray diffractions (PXRD), and single-crystal X-ray diffractions. Compounds 1-3 are isostructural and exhibit novel 3D architectures with open channels viewed along the a axis, which constructed from [Ln(HMImDC)(OX)] layers and Ln 2(HMImDC) 2 dimers. The framework of 1-3 can be rationalized as a (3, 5)-connected net with a unique (4.5.7) 2(5.6.7)(5 2.6 3.7.8 3.10) topology. The luminescence and magnetic properties are also investigated.
