Structure and Magnetic Properties of a Novel Two‐Dimensional Complex from 1, 3, 5‐Benzenetricarboxylate and Neodymium(III) — {[Nd(1, 3, 5‐benzenetricarboxylate)(H2O)4] · H2O}n

Abstract A unique neodymium(III) complex, {[Nd(BTC)(H 2 O) 4 ] · H 2 O} n (BTC = 1, 3, 5‐benzenetricarboxylate), was obtained from the reaction between Nd(ClO 4 ) 3 · xH 2 O and Na 3 BTC. Coordination bonds, hydrogen bonds, and π‐π stacking form a supramolecular structure with a novel, two‐dimensional framework. The temperature‐dependent magnetic susceptibilities were analyzed by the Curie‐Weiss law; the following values were found C = 1.32, θ = —18.3 K, respectively.
