The study of carboxyl complexes has drawn great interests,mainly because of their intriguing variety of architectures and topologies as well as potential applications in many fields,such as functional materials,biochemistry,medicine,and so
The complex[Tb_2(ClC_6H_4COO)_6(2,2'-bipy)_2]·(ClC_6H_4COOH)·(H_2O)with m-chlorobenzoic acid and 2,2'-bipy -ridine as ligands has been synthesized by means of hydrothermal way.Crystal data for this complex are as follows: monoclinic,space group P1,a=1.143 9(4) nm,6=1.211 6(4) nm,c=1.419 9(5) nm,α= 103.600(6)°,β=95.382(3)°,γ= 99.506(4)°,V=1.8684(10)nm^3,D_c=1.692 g·cm^(-3),Z=2,μ(Mo Kα)=2.236 mm^(-1),F(000)=943,final discrepancy factors R_1=0.052 0,wR_2=0.118 6.In the crystal,two neighboring Tb(Ⅲ) ions are bridged by four m-chlorobenzoic acid anions,and their end positions coordinate with one 2,2'-bipyridine molecule and one m-chlorobenzoic acid anions, respectively,giving a binuclear cage structure,of which the spacing between Tb(Ⅲ)…Tb(Ⅲ) is 0.408 1 nm.Each Tb(Ⅲ) ion coordinates with two nitrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms,giving an eight-coordinated distorted square antiprism geometry.The luminescent property of the complex is also studied.
