Two novel materials, [M(C{sub 6}H{sub 5}O{sub 7})(C{sub 6}H{sub 6}O{sub 7})(C{sub 6}H{sub 7}O{sub 7})(H{sub 2}O)] . H{sub 2}O (M=La(1a), Ce(1b)) and [Ce{sub 2}(C{sub 2}O{sub 4})(C{sub 6}H{sub 6}O{sub 7}){sub 2}] . 4H{sub 2}O (2), with a metal-organic framework (MOF) were prepared with hydrothermal reactions and characterized with photoluminescence, magnetic susceptibility, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray powder diffraction in situ. The crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallized in triclinic space group P1-bar (No. 2); compound 2 crystallized in monoclinic space group P2{sub 1}/c (No. 14). The structure of 1 is built from a 1D MOF, composed of deprotonated citric ligands of three kinds. Compound 2 contains a 2D MOF structure consisting of citrate and oxalate ligands; the oxalate ligand arose from the decomposition in situ of citric acid in the presence of Cu{sup II} ions. Photoluminescence spectra of compounds 1b and 2 revealed transitions between the 5d{sup 1} excited state and two levels of the 4f{sup 1} ground state ({sup 2}F{sub 5/2} and {sup 2}F{sub 7/2}). Compounds 1b and 2 containing Ce{sup III} ion exhibit a paramagnetic property with weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the two adjacent magnetic centers. - Graphical Abstract: [M(C{sub 6}H{sub 5}O{sub 7})(C{sub 6}H{sub 6}O{sub 7})(C{sub 6}H{sub 7}O{sub 7})(H{sub 2}O)] . H{sub 2}O (M=La(1a), Ce(1b)) and [Ce{sub 2}(C{sub 2}O{sub 4})(C{sub 6}H{sub 6}O{sub 7}){sub 2}] . 4H{sub 2}O (2)-with 1D and 2D structures were synthesized and characterized. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Two MOF - [M(C{sub 6}H{sub 5}O{sub 7})(C{sub 6}H{sub 6}O{sub 7})(C{sub 6}H{sub 7}O{sub 7})(H{sub 2}O)] . H{sub 2}O (M=La(1a), Ce(1b)) and [Ce{sub 2}(C{sub 2}O{sub 4})(C{sub 6}H{sub 6}O{sub 7}){sub 2}] . 4H{sub 2}O (2) - with 1D and 2D structures. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The adjacent chains of the 1D framework were correlated with each other through an oxalate ligand to form a 2D layer structure. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The source of the oxalate ligand was the decomposition in situ of citric acid oxidized in the presence of Cu{sup II} ions.
