Abstract:
Three series of lanthanide coordination polymers, namely catena-poly[[lanthanide(III)-μ2-(benzene-1,2-dicarboxylato)-μ2-[2-(2,2':6',2''-terpyridin-4'-yl)benzoato]] monohydrate], {[Ln(C8H4O4)(C22H14N3O2)]·H2O}n or {[Ln(1,2-bdc)(L)]·H2O}n, with lanthanide (Ln) = dysprosium (Dy, 1), holmium (Ho, 2) and erbium (Er, 3), poly[bis(μ2-benzene-1,3-dicarboxylato)bis[μ2-2-(2,2':6',2''-terpyridin-4'-yl)benzoato]dilanthanide(III)], [Ln2(C8H4O4)2(C22H14N3O2)2]n or [Ln2(1,3-bdc)2(L)2]n, with Ln = gadolinium (Gd, 4), Ho (5) and Er (6), and poly[(μ2-benzene-1,4-dicarboxylato)[μ2-2-(2,2':6',2''-terpyridin-4'-yl)benzoato]lanthanide(III)], [Ln(C8H4O4)(C22H14N3O2)]n or [Ln(1,4-bdc)(L)]n, with Ln = Dy (7), Ho (8), Er (9) and ytterbium (Yb, 10), were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1-3 possess one-dimensional loop chains with Ln2(COO)2 units, which are extended into three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular structures by π-π interactions. Isostructural compounds 5 and 6 show 6-connected 3D networks, with pcu topology consisting of Ln2(COO)2 units. Compounds 7-10 display 8-connected 3D frameworks with the topological type rob, consisting of Ln2(COO)2 units. The influence of the coordination orientations of the aromatic dicarboxylate groups on the crystal structures is discussed.

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

01:28Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
