Three new lanthanide-organic coordination polymers, {[ Ln2(bpdc)2(H2O)6(NO3)] ·NO3} [ Ln = La ( 1), Ce ( 2), Pr ( 3)] (H2bpdc = 2, 2′-bipyridine-6, 6′-dicarboxylic acid) were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy as well as single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that compounds 1- 3 are isostructural, composed of two dimensional honeycomb network linked by bpdc ligands. The magnetic property of compound 3 was investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hydrothermal reaction of rare earth oxides with 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid (H 3 bidc) and MnSO 4 ·H 2 O afforded a series of new three-dimensional (3D) coordination polymers, namely, [Ln 2 Mn(Hbidc) 2 (SO 4 ) 2 ·8H 2 O] n (Ln = Sm ( 1 ), Eu ( 2 ), Tb ( 3 ), Dy ( 4 ) and Ho ( 5 )) and [Gd 2 Mn(Hbidc) 2 (SO 4 ) 2 ·7H 2 O] n ( 6 ). Their structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and further characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that coordination polymers 1 – 6 have similar 3D frameworks fabricated through Hbidc 2 − and SO 4 2 − bridging dinuclear lanthanide secondary building units. Moreover, the photoluminescence of complexes 1 – 4 and magnetism of complexes 4 and 6 have been investigated, 4 exhibits remarkably slow magnetic relaxation behavior with the energy barrier Δ E / k B = 83.3 K.
