Lanthanide coordination polymers based on an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline ligands: synthesis, structure and luminescence properties

Shu-Ju Wang, Yang Liu, Zhi-Qing Zhang, Qian Li, Gang Xiong, Li-Xin You, Yaguang Sun Schematic showing the complexation of 2-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methoxy]benzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline with various lanthanides and the resulting 2-D structure formed.Four 2-D Ln-CPs [Ln = La (1), Pr (2), Sm (3), Eu (4)] based on mixed ligands, 2-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methoxy]benzoic acid (H2cob) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), were prepared and characterized. Complexes 3 and 4 show luminescence of the trivalent lanthanides. (Image credit: Lixin You.)
