Two-dimensional dysprosium(III) triiodate(V) dihydrate, Dy(IO(3))(3)(H(2)O)·H(2)O.

ABSTRACT: During our research into novel nonlinear optical materials using 1,10-phenanthroline as an appending ligand on lanthanide iodates, crystals of an infinite layered Dy(III) iodate compound, Dy(IO(3))(3)(H(2)O)·H(2)O, were obtained under hydro-thermal conditions. The Dy(III) cation has a dicapped trigonal prismatic coordination environment consisting of one water O atom and seven other O atoms from seven iodate anions. These iodate anions bridge the Dy(III) cations into a two-dimensional structure. Through O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, all of these layers stack along [111], giving a supra-molecular channel, with the solvent water mol-ecules filling the voids.
