The first organically templated neodymium sulfate has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. [C{sub 2}N{sub 2}H{sub 10}]{sub 1.5}[Nd(SO{sub 4}){sub 3}(H{sub 2}O)].2H{sub 2}O crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2{sub 1}/c with crystal data a=6.5896(5)A, b=26.539(3)A, c=9.9889(8)A, {beta}=104.399(5){sup o}, V=1692.0(2)A{sup 3}, Z=4. Refinement gave R{sub 1}[I>2{sigma}(I)]=0.0471, and wR{sub 2}[I>2{sigma}(I)]=0.0899. The compound exhibits an infinite zigzag anionic layer structure, which consists of {l_brace}Nd(SO{sub 4}){sub 3}(H{sub 2}O){r_brace}{sup 3-} structural units connected together to form interesting eight-membered rings via corner-sharing and edge-sharing modes. The compound has the antiferromagnetic behavior and exhibits intense photoluminescence upon photo-excitation at 450nm.
