Abstract

A novel coordination polymer {[Ho2(DHTA)3(H2O)5]·H2O}n (1) was synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis (DHTA = 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-terephthalic acid anion). The crystallographic data show that complex 1 crystallizes in a triclinic system with space group P1¯, with a = 9.6617(17) Å, b = 11.902(2) Å, c = 13.284(2) Å, α = 100.617(3)°, β = 92.765(2)°, γ = 106.715(2)°, V = 1429.6(4) Å3, Z = 2, C24H24O24Ho2, and Mr = 1026.290. Complex 1 contains two eight-coordinated metal centers Ho(III). The TGA results show that the weight loss can be ascribed to the removal of the organic component from 400 to 650 °C. At the temperature above 650 °C, the residue is Holmium(III) oxide (Ho2O3). The luminescent results reveal that the complex has potential application as a new green luminescence material.

Highlights

  • The Ho1 is bound to eight oxygen atoms, five of which are from four different DHTA ligands and the other three are from three aqua ligands, forming a slightly distorted square antiprism (Figure 2)

  • Three-dimensional coordination polymer comcomposed of DHTA and coordination water molecules

  • One DHTA ligand posed of DHTA and coordination water molecules

Summary

Introduction

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are organic–inorganic hybrid materials which are composed of inorganic nodes connected by organic ligands through the self-assembly process [1]. MOFs have shown their applications in the luminescence area over the past decades; many strategies have been proposed to enhance the luminescence properties of the MOFs and have obtained some advanced material to detect heavy-metal ions and organic pollutants [4,5]. Zhao et al have used a solvothermal synthesized Cu3 (BTC) (HKUST-1) to adsorb Ce3+ from water. These results demonstrated a significantly intensive adsorption capacity and a rapid removal rate [6].
