Diverse Lanthanide Coordination Polymers with 3,3'-Dimethylcyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylate Ligand: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Properties.

ABSTRACT: In an attempt to investigate the influence of many variables on the synthesis of lanthanide coordination polymers (Ln-CPs) assembled from the ligand 3,3-dimethylcyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, three different Ln-CPs with formulae [La₉(μ₄-dcd)₁₂(μ₃-O)₂(H)] _n (1), [Gd₄(μ₄-dcd)₆(H₂O)] _n (2), and [Gd₂(μ₃-OH)₂(μ₃-dcd)(μ₂-ac)₂(H₂O)] _n (3) (dcd = 3,3-dimethylcyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylate, ac = acetate) have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectrum, thermal analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and single X-ray diffraction techniques. 1 represents the first report of the three-dimensional (3D) Ln-CPs based on nonanuclear lanthanide clusters, although it shows extremely low gas uptakes. 2 exhibits one of the previously reported 3D lanthanide wheel cluster-like frameworks. 3 characterizes a novel one-dimensional ladder-like chain [Gd₄(OH)₄] _n decorated with mixed ligand ribbons. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement reveals that the shortest Gd···Gd distance in 3 induces the antiferromagnetic interactions between adjacent Gd³⁺ cations within the hydroxyl-bridged binuclear unit. Remarkably, magnetic investigation for 2 indicates a unique metamagnetic transition from the antiferromagnet to ferromagnet. Furthermore, magnetic studies for 2 also exhibit the presence of significant magnetocaloric effect with a large magnetic entropy change.

Project description:Five new Lanthanide(III) complexes of malonic acid (HOOC-CH2-COOH); {[Gd(C3H2O4)(H2O)4]·NO3} n (1), {[Tb(C3H2O4)(H2O)4]·NO3} n (2), {[Ho(C3H2O4)(H2O)4]·NO3} n (3), [Er(C3H2O4)(C3H3O4)(H2O)2] n (4), and {[Eu2(C3H2O4)2(C3H3O4)2(H2O)6]·4H2O} n (5) were synthesized and characterized by elemental, infrared spectral, and thermal analyses. The structures of compounds 1-5 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The X-ray analysis reveals that compounds 1, 2, and 3 are isostructural and crystallized in the orthorhombic space group Pmn21. The lanthanide(III) ions are coordinated by four carboxylate and four water oxygen atoms adopting a distorted square antiprism geometry. The LnO8 square antiprisms are linked into infinite layers by malonate (C3H2 O42- ) dianions sandwiching sheets of nitrate counter ions. Compound 4 contains ErO8 square antiprisms linked into a two-dimensional network by hydrogen malonate (C3H3 O4- ) anions and malonate dianions. The europium complex, 5 is dinuclear having the two europium(III) ions (Eu1 and Eu2) bridged by carboxylate groups of hydrogen malonate ligands. The europium ions in 5 are nine-coordinate and exhibit a distorted monocapped square antiprism geometry. All the structures are consolidated by O-H⋯ O hydrogen bonds. The photoluminescence spectra of 1-5 exhibit characteristic emissions in the visible region. The IR spectra and thermal data are consistent with the structural results. The room-temperature effective magnetic moments for 1-4 are in good agreement with those expected for the free ions, while the data for 5 indicates that low-lying excited states contribute to the observed moment. The compound 1 was further subjected to quantum computational calculations to explore its optoelectronic properties including; density of states (DOS), dielectric function, refractive index, extinction coefficient, and absorption spectrum, to highlight the possible applications of such materials in the optoelectronics.
