Abstract

The solvothermal combination of trivalent lanthanide metal precursors with a squarate ligand (H2C4O4, 3,4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione) has afforded the preparation of a family of eight new coordination polymers, [Ln2(C4O4)3(H2O)4] (Ln = La–Nd, Ho) (15), [Ln2(C4O4)3(H2O)8] (Ln = Er, Dy) (6, 7), and Tb2(C4O4)2(C2O4)(H2O)4 (8). Structural analysis reveals that the squarate ligand displays versatile coordination modes to generate novel 2D and 3D frameworks. Three new coordination modes, a bidentate/monodentate μ3 and two bidentate/monodentate μ4 coordination modes, are first reported. In addition, the variable-temperature magnetic properties of the Pr, Nd, Ho, Dy, and Tb complexes, the solid-state near-infrared luminescence spectra of the Pr, Nd, Ho, and Er complexes, and their thermogravimetric analyses are discussed.
