Abstract

The first bilayer architecture based on the hexanuclear heterometal cluster units [EuCuII2CuI3-OH)(μ- OH)L4(ClO4)(H2O)]·ClO 4·3H2O (1, L = 4-pyridin-4-yl-benzoate), was hydrothermally made and characterized. One prominent feature is that the nodes are heterometal hexanuclear clusters (EuIII2Cu II4) rather than mono-metal ions, in which the heterometal clusters are in a "head-to-head" arrangement. Another feature is the linkages between the monolayers: instead of the generally used organic linkers, the linkers here are [CuIL2] motifs. Moreover, their orientation is opposite: the organic linkers in the literature are approximately vertical to the monolayers, while the [CuIL2] motifs here are parallel to the monolayers. Charge balance is achieved by both non-coordinating and coordinating ClO4- anions. This journal is
