Abstract
Three novel lanthanide-organic frameworks, [Ln3(μ 3-OH)2L2(HCO2)3(H 2O)2]·H2O (Ln = Eu (1), Gd (2), Dy (3); H2L = 3,3′-dimethoxy-4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid), have been prepared by the solvothermal reaction of Ln(NO3) 3·6H2O and H2L in DMF/H2O mixed solvent. Crystallographic data show that 1-3 are isomorphous and crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/c. Each complex contains a rare infinite nanosized ribbon [Ln3(μ3-OH) 2(-CO2)6]+n with three crystallographically distinct Ln(iii) ions: two nine-coordinated and one eight-coordinated. The nanosized ribbons are interconnected through HCO 2- anions and L2- linkers to yield a 3D framework. Furthermore, 1 exhibits strong red luminescence upon 343 nm excitation. The investigation of the magnetic properties shows the weak antiferromagnetic coupling between Gd(iii) ions in 2 but ferromagnetic coupling between the Dy(iii) ions in 3.
