Synthesis, Structural Characterization, Hirschfeld Surface Analysis and Photocatalytic CO₂ Reduction Activity of a New Dinuclear Gd(III) Complex with 6-Phenylpyridine-2-Carboxylic Acid and 1,10-Phenanthroline Ligands.

ABSTRACT: A new dinuclear Gd(III) complex was synthesized and named [Gd₂(L)₄(Phen)₂(H₂O)₂(DMF)₂]·2H₂O·2Cl (1). Here, L is the 6-phenylpyridine-2-carboxylate anion, Phen represents 1,10-phenanthroline, DMF is called N,N-dimethylformamide, and Cl^- is the chloride anion, which is characterized by IR and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structural analysis reveals that complex (1) is a cation-anion complex, and each Gd(III) ion is eight-coordinated with four O atoms (O1, O5, O2a, O4a, or O1a, O2, O4, O5a) of four different bidentate L ligands, two O atoms (O6, or O6a) of DMF molecules, two N atoms (N1, N2, or N1a, N2a) of Phen ligands, and two O atoms (O3 or O3a) of coordinated wate
