Abstract:A series of lanthanide complexes [Ln(2)(QUIN)(6)(H2O)(6)]center dot 3H(2)O (Ln = Pr (1), Nd (2), Sm (3), Eu (4)), [Pr(QUIN)(3) (H2O)](n) (5) and [Pr-2(QUIN)(4)(phen)(2)(NO3)(2)(H2O)(2)] (6) were synthesized by hydrothermal reactions of corresponding lanthanide nitrates with quinoline-2-carboxylic acid (HQUIN) under intervention of auxiliary ligands, and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, TGA and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1-4 and 6 exhibit the dinuclear lanthanide architectures in which each Ln(III) ion is nine-coordinated and possesses distorted tricapped trigonal prism geometry. The dinuclear structures in 1-4 are further linked by the hydrogen bond interactions resulting in the formation of the two-dimensional supramolecular network, while the dinuclear structures in 6 form the three-dimensional supramolecular network. Complex 5 is composed of one-dimensional chain framework, which further pack into the two-dimensional layer through weak pi center dot center dot center dot pi stacking interactions. The supramolecular architectures 1-6 show that the numerous hydrogen bonds are responsible for the increasing thermal stability. Photoluminescence investigation reveals that complexes 4 and 6 display strong red and green emission, respectively. Moreover, the magnetic properties of 2 and 6 have also been investigated.
