Synthesis, crystal structure, luminescent and magnetic properties of lanthanide coordination polymers based on a zwitterionic polycarboxylate ligand

A series of isostructural lanthanide coordination polymers based on the zwitterionic type of organic ligand has been successfully synthesized to explore luminescent and magnetic properties. Complex 1 has the potential to serve as the first example of a luminescent zwitterionic Ln-CP material for selective and recyclable sensing of TNP in ethanol solution. Besides, Complex 3 has antiferromagnetic property and exhibits slow magnetic relaxation.69
