Protonated 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole templated luminescent lanthanide isophthalates with a rare (3,6)-connected topology

Abstract

Although 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (AmTAZ) is often used as a ligand, its templating behavior has never been explored. Presented here are a series of isomorphous lanthanide isophthalates, [Ln(ip)2(H2O)]ยท(HAmTAZ) (Ln = La (1), Sm (2), Tb (3); ip = isophthalate, AmTAZ = 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole), templated by protonated HAmTAZ+ cations. The three-dimensional (3D) anionic [Ln(ip)2(H2O)]n framework based on rod-like [Ln(COO)4(H2O)]n secondary building units (SBUs) exhibits rare (3,6)-connected (42.6)2(44.62.87.102) topology, and the guest HAmTAZ+ cations are trapped in the channels. Both compounds 2 and 3 show interesting luminescence properties.
