A one-dimensional linear chain coordination polymer [ErL{sup I}(NO{sub 3}){sub 3}(CH{sub 3}CO{sub 2}Et)]{sub n} (L{sup I}=1,2-bis{l_brace}[(2'-furfurylaminoformyl)phenoxyl]methyl{r_brace}benzene) and a one-dimensional zig-zag coordination polymer {l_brace}[TbL{sup II}(NO{sub 3}){sub 3}(H{sub 2}O)].(H{sub 2}O){r_brace}{sub n} (L{sup II}=1,2-bis{l_brace}[2'-(2-pyridylmethylaminoformyl)phenoxyl]methyl{r_brace}benzene) were assembled by two structurally related bridging podands L{sup I} and L{sup II} which have uniform skeleton and different terminal groups. In {l_brace}[TbL{sup II}(NO{sub 3}){sub 3}(H{sub 2}O)].(H{sub 2}O){r_brace}{sub n}, the neutral chains were linked by the hydrogen bonding interactions between the free and coordinated water molecules from two different directions to interpenetrate into a 3D supramolecular structure. At the same time, the luminescent properties of the solid Tb(III) nitrate complexes of these podands were investigated at room temperature. The lowest triplet state energy levels T{sub 1} of the podands L{sup I} and L{sup II} indicate that the triplet state energy levels of the antennae are both above the lowest excited resonance level of {sup 5}D{sub 4} of Tb{sup 3+} ion. Thus the absorbed energy could be transferred from ligands to the central Tb{sup 3+} ions. And the influence of the hydrogen bonding on the luminescence efficiencies of the coordination polymers was also discussed. -- Graphical Abstract: Two one-dimensional lanthanide coordination polymers were assembled by two structurally related bridging podands, and the effects of the structures on luminescent properties of the solid Tb(III) nitrate complexes were investigated. Display Omitted Research highlights: > Two structurally related amide type bridging ligands were designed and synthesized. > Two one dimensional lanthanide nitrate coordination polymers were obtained. > The structure effects on luminescent properties of the terbium complexes were discussed.
