Abstract
Abstract The hydrothermal reaction of 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (H2PDC), diethylene triamine and In(NO3)3·4.5H2O gave rise to a two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymer In(OH)(2,5-PDC). This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Iba2, with cell parameters, a = 12.656(3) A, b = 20.114(4) A, c = 6.2216(1) A, V = 1583.9(5) A3 and Z = 8. Its structure contains one-dimensional In–O–In–O– chains, which are further linked by 2,5-PDC ligands into a 2D supramolecular neutral framework. The adjacent 2D layers are parallel with each other and construct a three-dimensional framework via hydrogen bands. At room temperature, the compound exhibits intense photoluminescence. On the basis of the results of TG/DTA analyses, the structure is thermally stable up to ∼390 °C.
