Crystal structure and photoluminescent properties of a new Eu^III-phthalate-acetate coordination polymer.

ABSTRACT: A new coordination polymer, poly[(acetato)aqua(μ₃-phthalato)europium(III)], [Eu(C₈H₄O₄)(CH₃O₂)(H₂O)] _n or [Eu^III(phth)(OAc)(H₂O)] (phth^2- = phthalate and OAc^- = acetate) was synthesized and characterized, revealing it to be a supra-molecular assembly of one-dimensional [Eu^III(phth)(OAc)(H₂O)] chains. Each chain is built up of edge-sharing distorted tricapped trigonal-prismatic TPRS-{Eu^IIIO₉} building motifs and assembled in a regular fashion through hydrogen-bonding and aromatic π-π inter-actions. The fully deprotonated phth^2- ligand was shown to be an effective sensitizer, promoting the char
