Abstract
Eight three-dimensional lanthanide-organic frameworks: [Ln(BPDC)1.5(DMF)(H2O)2]·2H2O (Ln = Eu (1), Gd (2), Tb (3), Dy (4); BPDC = 4,4'-dicarboxylate-2,2'-dipyridine anion), [Ln(BPDC)(DMF)2(NO3)] (Ln = Eu (5), Gd (6), Tb (7), Dy (8)) were fabricated and structurally characterized. Compounds 1-4 are isostructural, belonging to the triclinic system with space group P1¯, while compounds 6-8 belong to the monoclinic system with space group C2/c. Structural differences between two types of compounds may be caused by different reaction conditions. Magnetic properties of 2-4 and 6-8 have been investigated and only compounds 4 and 8 display significant frequency-dependence, albeit without reaching the characteristic maxima above 2 K, implying slow magnetic relaxation behaviors in 4 and 8. After the application of a DC field, good peak shapes of AC signal were obtained and got the energy barrier for 4, ΔE/kB = 79.80 K and the pre-exponential factor τ0 = 1.28 × 10(-10) s, for 8, ΔE/kB = 38.15 K and τ0 = 2.47 × 10(-9) s. Geometrical differences in the crystal fields of Dy(3+) in 4 and 8 seem to be responsible for the large divergence of their magnetic behaviors. Luminescence analyses were performed on coordination polymers containing Eu(3+), Tb(3+), and Dy(3+), which exhibit the characteristic transitions of corresponding lanthanide ions, and give the lifetime (τ0) of 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 are 0.56 ms, 0.89 ms, 8.48 μs, 0.60 ms, 0.75 ms and 36.35 μs, respectively.
