A novel 3D 4d–4f heterometallic coordination polymer: Synthesis, crystal structure and luminescence

A novel 4d–4f heterometallic coordination polymer [EuAg(imdc)2]n (1) (imdc = imidazoledicarboxylate) has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray single-crystal structural analysis reveals that 1 is a three-dimensional framework. Furthermore, 1 also displayed photoluminescent properties in the red range at room temperature.

A novel 4d–4f coordination polymer [EuAg(imdc)2]n (1) (imdc = imidazoledicarboxylate) has been hydrothermally synthesized. X-ray single-crystal structural analyses reveal that 1 is three-dimensional framework constructed from one-dimensional chain. 1 also displayed photoluminescent properties in the red range at room temperature.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
