Abstract

Two lanthanide-carboxylate polymeric complexes containing nine-coordinate lanthanide metal centers, {[Pr(ptc-3)·2H2O]·2H2O} (1), {[Nd(ptc-3)·2H2O]·2H2O} (2) have been prepared by hydrothermal synthesis of Pr(NO3)3·6H2O or Nd(NO3)3·6H2O with pyridine-2,4,6-tricarboxylic acid (ptcH3). These network structures are characterized by X-ray crystallography, powder X-ray diffraction, infrared and thermal gravimetric analyses. Both 1 and 2 form infinite single helical chains with large widths and pitches containing six metal ions per turn. The overall structure consists of two helices connected via discrete octameric water clusters.
