Abstract

Hydrothermal reactions of Ln2(C2O4) 3·9 H2O and CuCl2·2 H 2O with pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (H2pdc) in water in the presence of acetic acid lead to two novel three-dimensional lanthanide(III)-copper(I) heterometallic compounds: LnCu(na)2(C 2O4)·1.5 H2O (Ln = La 1, Ce 2; na = nicotinic acid). Both compounds are isostructural and contain two distinct units of 2D Ln-organic layers and nonlinear [Cu(na)2]-, the nonlinear [Cu(na)2]- act as pillars and further link the Ln-organic layers, resulting in two heterometallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with two distinct types of channels along the a and c axes. Further structural analysis reveals that 1 is a scarcely reported eight-connected self-penetrating ilc net with dinuclear {Ln2} subunits as secondary building units. Furthermore, the IR, TGA, PXRD properties were also studied.
