Abstract
The new rare-earth dicarboxylate solid Eu 2(H 2O) 4{C 6H 10–(CO 2) 2} 3·2H 2O or MIL-94 has been isolated under hydrothermal conditions. Its layered structure, which was solved using X-ray powder diffraction data, is built up from dimers of nine-coordinated edge-sharing polyhedra linked through 1,3-cyclohexane dicarboxylate (1,3-CHC) moieties. A comparative study of MIL-94 and the layered lanthanide dicarboxylate EuBDC or Eu 2(H 2O) 2{C 6H 4–(CO 2) 2} 3, which is built up from dimers of corner-sharing polyhedra and 1,3-benzenedicarboxylate (1,3-BDC) linkers, is also reported. Crystal data for MIL-94: orthorhombic space group Pnma (no. 62) with a = 8.8470(1) Å, b = 25.0148(1) Å, c = 14.3716(4) Å and Z = 4. MIL stands for Material Institut Lavoisier.
