Abstract

Solvothermal reactions of two ligands with different geometries, derived from cyclotriphosphazene, hexakis(4-carboxylato-phenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene (H6L1) and hexakis(3-carboxylato-phenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene (H 6L2) with Eu(NO3)3·6H2O in H2O/DMF under similar synthesis conditions produced three new compounds, namely, {[Eu2(L1)(H2O)4] ·(H2O)4·(DMA)2}n (1), {[Eu2(L1)(H2O)8]·(H2O) 2·DMA}n (2), and {[Eu2(L2)(H 2O)3(DMF)]·(H2O)2· (DMA)}n (3). Compounds 1 and 2 display a 2D layer crystal structure with a distinct topological network incorporating the extended hexa-carboxylate ligand L1; in contrast, 3 has a 1D crystal structure with the highly distorted hexa-carboxylate ligand L2. In these three compounds, the ligands L1 and L2 are fully deprotonated, whose six extended carboxyl arms connect six different/same metallic nodes to generate metal-organic frameworks. The luminescence properties of three compounds have been studied at room temperature in relative detail.
