Four new lanthanide coordination polymers, [Y(Hnip)(nip)(H{sub 2}O)].H{sub 2}O (1), [Ln(Hnip)(nip)(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}].2H{sub 2}O [Ln=Eu(2), Tb(3)] and [Y(nip){sub 2}].(H{sub 2}4,4'-bpy){sub 0.5} (4) [5-nip=5-nitroisophthalate, 4,4'-bpy=4,4'-bipyridine], have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Compound 1 features novel lanthanide-carboxylate groups chains composed of three samehanded helical strands intersecting each other through hinged lanthanide atoms, and these chains are cross-linked by phenylene moieties of carboxylate ligands into a 2D layer structure. Compounds 2 and 3 are isomorphous, and contain 1D catenanelike Ln-O-C-O-Ln chains, which are interconnected by phenylene moieties into 2D layer structures. Compound 4, however, displays a 3D architecture sustained by strong hydrogen bonding interactions between the protonated 4,4'-bpy and the carboxyl oxygen atom from [Y{sub 2}(nip){sub 4}]{sup 2-} with 2D layer structure, and 4,4'-bpy as the guest molecules exist in bilayer channel. The studies for the thermal stabilities of the four compounds show that compound 4 is more stable than other compounds. Compound 2 emits characteristic red luminescence of Eu{sup 3+} ions at room temperature, and its luminescent lifetime and quantum efficiency has been determined. - Graphical abstract: Four lanthanide 5-nitroisophthalate coordination polymers have been hydrothermally prepared and resent different structures and thermal stabilities and photoluminescence properties.
