Syntheses, Structures and Properties of 3d-4f Heterometallic Coordination Polymers Based on Tetradentate Metalloligand and Lanthanoid Ions

Based on tetradentate metalloligand LCu ([Cu(2,4-pydca)2], 2,4-pydca = pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylate) and lanthanides (Sm3+, Dy3+), two 3d-4fheterometalliccoordination polymers, namely, {[Sm2 (DMSO)4 (CH3OH) 2][LCu]3·7DMSO·2CH3OH}n 1 and {[Dy2 (DMSO)3 (CH3OH)][LCu3 (DMSO)]·4DMSO·CH3OH}n 2 (DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide), have been synthesized and well characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that both 1 and 2 crystallize in the triclinic crystal system with P-1 space group and possess the 3D framework structures, which are constructed from metalloligands LCu connecting with {Sm2} and {Dy2} clusters, respectively. The 3D structure of 1 has a 6-connected single-nodal topology with the point symbol {49 × 66}, while 2 features a different framework with the point symbol of {412 × 63}. Thermogravimetric analysis exhibits that the skeleton of both 1 and 2 collapse after 350℃. Magnetic properties of 1 and 2 have also been investigated.
