Five new lanthanide supramolecular complexes, namely, [Sm(oqa){sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 4}]{sub 2} (ClO{sub 4}){sub 2}.(bpy){sub 2} (1), [Ln(oqa){sub 3}].2H{sub 2}O [Ln=Sm(2), Gd(3)] and [Ln(oqa){sub 2}(NO{sub 3})(H{sub 2}O); Ln=Pr(4), Eu(5)] (oqa=4-oxo-1(4H)-quinolineacetate, bpy=4,4'-bipyridine), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. These complexes exhibit three typical structure features. Complex 1 possesses a dimeric structure, which is further connected together through hydrogen bonds and pi-pi attractions, forming a 3D supramolecular framework. Compounds 2-3 are isomorphous and contain 1D ring-like chains, which are further interconnected by the oqa ligands into 2D sheet-like structures. 4 and 5 exhibit eight-connected 3D network of 4{sup 24}.6{sup 4}-bcu topology. The various coordination modes of carboxylate ligands and the selection of the counterions have clearly affected the topological structures. Furthermore, the solid-state luminescent properties of complexes 1, 2 and 5 were investigated at room temperature and they show intense, characteristic emissions in the visible region. - Graphical abstract Text7: The hydrothermal reactions of the oqa molecules with varied lanthanide ions resulted in the formation of five new complexes, which exhibit three typical structure features.
