Two new coordination polymers,[Ln(oba)(ox)0.5(H2O)2]n(Ln = Ho(1),Eu(2);H2oba = 4,4?-oxybis(benzoic acid),H2ox = oxalic acid) have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions.According to single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses,complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system,space group P21/c with a = 13.783(2),b =10.0120(15),c = 12.1974(18) ,β = 105.217(2)°,V = 1624.2(4) 3,C15H12O9Ho,Mr = 501.18,Z = 4,Dc = 2.050 g/cm3,F(000) = 964,μ = 4.919 mm-1,λ(MoKα) = 0.71073 ?,GOOF = 1.124,the final R = 0.0239 and wR = 0.0570 for 3310 independent reflections with Rint = 0.0298.Complexes 2 and 1 are isostructural.Oba and ox ligands bridge the Ln(III) ions into 2D layers with(4,4) topology,which are further interlinked into a 3D supramolecular network by hydrogen bonds.TG curves of the two complexes are studied to examine their thermal stabilities.Additionally,complex 2 shows red fluorescence in the solid state at room temperature.
