Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Lanthanide-based coordination polymers (Ln-CPs) have attracted an increasing amount of interest in the last two decades. The unique magnetic and optical properties of lanthanide(III) ions have attracted research on the preparation of Ln(III)-based molecular materials such as single-molecule magnets or luminescent materials. Among them, efforts have been devoted to the integration of these properties in Ln-CPs. Indeed, the organization of Ln(III) ions in CPs is of substantial importance for the processability of the functional material, a key feature for many applications. Through a careful choice of the organic linker, Ln-CPs have been developed and shown promising applications as sensors, light-emitting materials, layered magnets, and triboluminescent materials in optics. On the other hand, the construction of Ln-CPs with predicted architectures remains challenging. While structures and dimensionalities in CPs are mainly directed by synthetic conditions and the nature of the bridging ligand, in Ln-CPs, due to the more flexible coordination numbers and geometries of Ln(III) ions compared to transition metal ions, structures can also be affected by the presence of coordinated solvents and the nature of the Ln(III) ion itself, leading to a large variety of crystal structures. This Special Issue aims to outline recent efforts on the synthesis and structural characterization of Ln-CPs, with an emphasis on their unique magnetic and photophysical properties, processability, but also on the influence of crystal growth parameters that will allow us to identify and develop the future design and applications of Ln-CPs.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), whose definition has been regularly debated, are a sub-class of coordination polymers (CPs) which may feature both an overall 3D architecture and some degree of porosity. In this context, MOFs based on lanthanides (Ln-MOFs) could find many applications due to the combination of sorption properties and magnetic/luminescent behaviors. Here we report rare examples of 3D Ln-CPs based on anilate linkers, obtained under solvothermal conditions using a heteroleptic strategy. The three compounds of formula [Yb2(μ-ClCNAn)2(μ-F4BDC)(H2O)4]·(H2O)3 (1), [Er2(μ-ClCNAn)2(μ-F4BDC)(H2O)4]·(H2O)4 (2) and [Eu2(μ-ClCNAn)2(μ-F4BDC)(H2O)6] (3) have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and optical measurements. Structural characterization revealed that compounds 1 and 2 present an interesting MOF architecture with extended rectangular cavities which are only filled with water molecules. On the other hand, compound 3 shows a much more complex topology with no apparent cavities. We discuss here the origins of such differences and highlight the crucial role of the Ln(III) ion nature for the topology of the CP. Compounds 1 and 2 now offer a playground to investigate the possible synergy between gas/solvent sorption and magnetic/luminescent properties of Ln-MOFs. Full article

We report the synthesis, structural and magnetic characterization of the complete series of lanthanoid-based chloranilato 2D lattices with dimethylsulfoxide (dmso) formulated as: [Ln2(C6O4Cl2)3(dmso)6] with Ln = La(1), Ce(2 [...] Read more.
We report the synthesis, structural and magnetic characterization of the complete series of lanthanoid-based chloranilato 2D lattices with dimethylsulfoxide (dmso) formulated as: [Ln2(C6O4Cl2)3(dmso)6] with Ln = La(1), Ce(2), Pr(3), Nd(4), Sm(5), Eu(6), Gd(7) and Tb(8) or [Ln2(C6O4Cl2)3(dmso)4]·2dmso·2H2O with Ln = Dy(9), Ho(10), Er(11), Tm(12) and Yb(13); C6O4Cl22− = dianion of 3,6-dichloro-2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone = chloranilato. Single crystal X-ray analysis shows that the largest Ln(III) ions (La–Tb, 1–8) crystallise in the monoclinic P21/n space group (phase I), whereas the smallest ones (Dy–Yb, 9–13) crystallise in the triclinic P-1 space group (phase II). Both phases show a (6,3)-2D network with the typical hexagonal honeycomb lattice, although phase I presents important distortions, resulting in rectangular cavities with a brick-wall orientation. The largest ions (phase I) show a coordination number of nine with a capped square antiprismatic geometry in contrast to the smallest ions (phase II) that present a coordination number of eight with a triangular dodecahedral geometry. Magnetic measurements show that all the Ln(III) ions are magnetically well isolated, leading to the presence of a field induced single-ion magnet behaviour in the Er derivative, with an energy barrier of 23(2) K for DC fields of 20, 50 and 100 mT.

Four new isostructural 3d-4f mixed metal organic frameworks (MOFs) Cu Gd2 (BDC)4, compound 1, Cu Ho2 (BDC)4, compound 2, Cu Eu2 (BDC)4, compound 3, and Cu Dy2 (BDC)4, compound 4 were successfully synthesized. The structure, stability, and magnetic properties were analyzed. Each MOF has two lanthanide ions and one copper ion node with terephthalic acid as the organic linker. The lanthanide ions form a dimer with each having a capped trigonal prismatic geometry while the copper ion has a square planar geometry. Each of these MOFs shows varying degrees of antiferromagnetic interactions. Full article

Polymeric terbium(III) squarate hydrate [{Tb2(C4O4)3(H2O)8}n] was prepared from TbCl3 or Tb2O3 and squaric acid. The crystal structure was determined in a monoclinic Pc space group, and the whole molecular arrangement gives a sandwiched two-dimensional structure. The coordination polyhedra are described as a square antiprism. The solid complex emits green light under UV irradiation at room temperature with the quantum yield of 25%. Although Tb3+ is a non-Kramers ion, the alternating-current magnetic susceptibility showed frequency dependence in a 2000-Oe DC field, and the effective energy barrier for magnetization reorientation was 33(2) K. Thus, [{Tb2(C4O4)3(H2O)8}n] displayed functions of a potential luminescent magnet. Full article
