Abstract: A novel one-dimensional chain coordination polymer of terbium(Ⅲ) with p-methylbenzoic acid, 2,2′-bi-pyridine and 4,4′-bipyridine has been synthesized and characterized. The crystal data of this complex C39H37N3O8Tb are as follows: monoclinic system, space group P21/n, a=0.974 01(10) nm, b=2.605 8(3) nm, c=1.457 77(14) nm, β=96.108(2)°, V=3.678 9(6) nm3, Dc=1.507 g·cm-3, Mr=834.64, Z=4, μ(Mo Kα)=1.978 mm-1, F(000)=1 684, R1=0.032 4, wR2=0.063 4. The crystal structure of the complex shows that the terbium(Ⅲ) ion is coordinated with eight oxygen atoms, six from five p-methylbenzoic acid molecules and two from two water molecules, respectively, forming the distorted tetraprism geometry. The luminescent property of the complex is also studied. CCDC: 619216. |
