Abstract
Hydrothermal reaction of 4-cyanobenzoic acid with NaN3 in the presence of Ln(NO3)3 · 6H2O produced two lanthanide complexes, [LnL(HL)(H2O)5] [Ln = Eu (1) and Tb (2)] (H2L = 4-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)benzoic acid). Both compounds were structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 1 and 2 are isostructural and display 3-D supramolecular frameworks. Solid-state properties such as thermal behaviors and photoluminescence for these crystalline materials were also investigated.
