Abstract
Hydrothermal reactions of rare-earth cerium with L-tartaric acid afford a new coordination polymer, namely, poly[[triaqua(μ4-L-tartrato)cerium(III)] chloride], {[Ce(C4H4O6)(H2O)3]Cl}
n
, (1). The structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and further characterized by IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the compound is a new two-dimensional (2D) double-layered structure with one-dimensional left-handed helical chains. The different intermolecular interactions were confirmed using Hirshfeld surface analysis and molecular fingerprint plots. Molecular 2D fingerprint plots quantify the different interactions and highlight that H...H (24.8%), H...O/O...H (26.3%), Cl...H/H...Cl (19.6%), O...O (13.8%) and Ce...O/O...Ce (13.6%) interactions account for 99.8% of all contacts. Additionally, the photoluminescence properties of the compound were investigated in the solid state.
