Abstract:
In this work, two rare high-dimensional polyoxoniobates with formulas of H9 [Cu(en)(H2 O)2 ][Cu(en)2 ]8 [Dy(H2 O)4 ]3 [Nb24 -O69 (H2 O)3 ]2 ⋅ 36H2 O (1) and H9 K[Cu(en)2 (H2 O)]5 [Cu(en)2 ]4 -[Eu(H2 O)4 ]3 [Nb24 O69 (H2 O)3 ]2 ⋅ 2en ⋅ 45H2 O (2) have been obtained under hydrothermal conditions. These extended materials are constructed from lanthanide-incorporated triangular-prism-like polyoxoniobate secondary building units (SBUs) {[Ln(H2 O)4 ]3 [Nb24 O69 (H2 O)3 ]2 } (Ln=Dy, Eu). 1 and 2 represent the first examples of high-dimensional polyoxometalate materials based on such lanthanide-incorporated triangular-prism-like polyoxoniobate SBUs. Furthermore, the proton conduction property and the luminescent emission of these materials were evaluated.

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...
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
