Hydrothermal Synthesis, Structure and Thermal Properties of a Novel Three-dimensional La（III）-Sebacate Framework

A novel lanthanide-organic framework compound [La(seb)(Hseb)(H2O)]n (H2seb = sebacic acid) has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, TG and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P with a = 8.5849(7), b = 9.0641(8), c = 15.4049(13), α = 98.1830(10), β = 100.6870(10), γ= 97.5650(10)°, Z = 2, V = 1150.44(17) 3, Dc = 1.612 g/cm3, Mr = 558.39, λ(MoKα) = 0.71073 , μ = 1.903 mm-1, F(000) = 568, R = 0.0219 and wR = 0.0507 for 3797 observed reflections with I 2σ(I). The structure contains edge-shared chains of [LaO8(H2O)] tricapped trigonal prisms that propagate along the b axis. In aliphatic ligand participation, complex 1 exhibits a three-dimensional supramolecular framework. Moreover, the thermal stability of complex 1 has been investigated.
