Abstract
Hydrothermal reactions of Ag2O, 5-(isonicotinamido) isophthalic acid as well as Eu2O3 with a drop of CH3COOH results in formation of a new 4d-4f heterometallic coordination polymer [AgEu(INAIP)2(H2O)]·(H2O) (1) (INAIP = 5-(isonicotinamido)isophthalate). X-ray single-crystal structural analysis reveals that 1 is a three-dimensional framework. Furthermore, 1 also displayed photoluminescent properties in the red range at room temperature.
