Abstract

A novel series of lanthanide coordination polymers (Ln-CPs) have been obtained based on mixed ligands, 2-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methoxy]benzoic acid (H2cob) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), namely {Ln[(Hcob)(cob)(phen)]n, Ln = La (1), Pr (2), Sm (3), Eu (4)}. Complexes 14 were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that complexes 14 show two-dimensional layer structures. The luminescence properties of complexes 3 and 4 were thoroughly investigated.

Keywords: 1,10-phenanthroline, 2-[(4-carboxyphenyl)methoxy]benzoic acid, coordination polymer, crystal structure, lanthanide, luminescence, luminescence decay, mixed ligands.
