Hypothesis
The study aims to design and synthesize a novel lanthanide coordination polymer using 4-oxidopyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid as a ligand.
Conclusion
The synthesized thulium coordination polymer exhibits a three-dimensional supramolecular framework with unique structural properties.
Supporting Evidence
- The TmIII atom is coordinated by a tridentate ligand and water molecules.
- The structure forms a three-dimensional framework through hydrogen bonding.
- The compound is isotypic with Dy and Eu analogues.
Takeaway
Scientists created a new type of thulium compound that has a special structure, which could be useful for various applications.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by reacting thulium(III)nitrate hexahydrate with a ligand in a sealed container at high temperature.
