One-pot synthesis of unexpected nd-containing coordination polymer based on N-phthaloylglycine and benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid: syntheses, structure and properties

A novel unexpected 1D coordination polymer Nd(Nphgly)(1,2-BDC)(H2O)·2H2O (1) containing simultaneously N-phthaloylglycine (Nphgly) and benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid (1,2-BDC) ligands has been prepared under the solvothermal conditions. In situ solvothermal aminolysis reaction occurred at benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid and glycine when they reacted with neodymium salts. Furthermore, the magnetic and luminescent properties of 1 were studied.
