Hydrothermal synthesis, crystal structure and properties of Ni(ii)–4f complexes based on 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid

Abstract

Nine novel heterometallic coordination polymers [Ln2Ni(Hbidc)2(SO4)2(H2O)8]n (Ln = Pr (1), Sm (2), Eu (3), Gd (4), Tb (5), Dy (6), Ho (7), Er (8), Yb (9), H3bidc = 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxylic acid) have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, TG analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray analysis revealed that all complexes present almost identical three-dimensional (3D) structures with PtS-type topology. Complexes 1–7 are all isomorphous, and the structure variation of polymers 8 and 9 is induced by the lanthanide contraction effect. In additional, the luminescence properties of complexes 2, 3 and 5–7, and the magnetic properties of complexes 4 and 6–8 were investigated.
