Treatments of p-ferrocenylbenzoate [p-NaOOCH{sub 4}C{sub 6}Fc, Fc=(eta{sup 5}-C{sub 5}H{sub 5})Fe(eta{sup 5}-C{sub 5}H{sub 4})] with Ln(NO{sub 3}){sub 3}.nH{sub 2}O afford seven p-ferrocenylbenzoate lanthanide complexes {l_brace}[Ln(OOCH{sub 4}C{sub 6}Fc){sub 2}(mu{sub 2}-OOCH{sub 4}C{sub 6}Fc){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}](H{sub 3}O){r_brace}{sub n} [Ln=Ce (1), Pr (2), Sm (3), Eu (4), Gd (5), Tb (6) and Dy (7)]. X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that the isomorphous complexes {l_brace}[Ce(OOCH{sub 4}C{sub 6}Fc){sub 2}(mu{sub 2}-OOCH{sub 4}C{sub 6}Fc){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}](H{sub 3}O){r_brace}{sub n} (1) and {l_brace}[Pr(OOCH{sub 4}C{sub 6}Fc){sub 2}(mu{sub 2}-OOCH{sub 4}C{sub 6}Fc){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}](H{sub 3}O){r_brace}{sub n} (2) form a unique 1D double-bridged infinite chain structure bridged by mu{sub 2}-OOCH{sub 4}C{sub 6}Fc groups. Each Ln(III) ion adopts a dodecahedron coordination environment with eight coordinated oxygen atoms from two terminal monodentate coordinated FcC{sub 6}H{sub 4}COO{sup -} units, two terminal monodentate coordinated H{sub 2}O molecules and four mu{sub 2}-{sup -}OOCH{sub 4}C{sub 6}Fc units. The luminescent spectra reveal that only 4 and 6 exhibit characteristic emissions of lanthanide ions, Eu(III) and Tb(III) ions, respectively. The variable-temperature magnetic properties of 5 and 7 suggest that a ferromagnetic coupling between spin carriers may exist in 5. - Graphical abstract: Seven p-ferrocenylbenzoate lanthanide coordination polymers were synthesized. Given is the perspective view of a unique 1D double-bridged infinite chain structure of 1, excitation and emission spectra of 6 and plots of chi{sub m}T vs. T and chi{sub m}{sup -1} vs. T of 5.
