The title compound, [Dy(2)(C(3)H(2)O(4))(3)(H(2)O)(6)](n), forms a coordination polymeric structure comprising hydrated dysprosium ions and malonate ligands. In the asymmetric unit, there are one dysprosium ion, one and a half malonate ligands, and three water mol-ecules. Each Dy(III) atom is coordinated by six O atoms from four malonate ligands and by three water mol-ecules, and displays a tri...

The heterobimetallic metal-organic framework {[(BPDC)PtCl(2)](3)(Gd(H(2)O)(3))(2)}.5H(2)O (BPDC = 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylate) has been designed and synthesized by hydrothermal methods. The new coordination polymer contains subunits of (BPDC)PtCl(2) (1) where both N atoms of the BPDC ligand are attached to a square-planar Pt(II) center. The two remaining cis coordination sites at Pt(II) ...

A coordination polymer {Zn(II) 3 [(Btc) 2 (Bzim) 3 ]} n (Btc = 1, 3, 5-benzene tricarboxylic acid, Bzim = benzimidazole) was successfully assembled in crystal state by hydrothermal method. Its molecular configuration was well defined by X-ray diffraction, element analysis and IR determination. Investigation results indicated that this coordination polymer possessed photoluminescence and thermal...

Almost all industrial catalysts are heterogeneous, the reaction taking place on a solid surface. During the past decade homogeneous catalysts, soluble in the liquidphase reactant, have received a great deal of attention, although they have so far found only limited industrial use, chiefly because of the di$culty of their separation from the reaction products. More recently an intermediate type,...

We report our transport studies in quasi-one-dimensional (1D) conductors-helical polyacetylene fibers doped with iodine-and the data analysis for other polymer single fibers and tubes. We found that at 30 K<T<300 K, the conductance and the current-voltage characteristics follow the power law G(T) proportional, Talpha with alpha approximately 2.2-7.2 and I(V) proportional, Vbeta with beta approx...

First examples of 1D oxamate-based coordination polymers obtained solvothermally.

The prospect of introducing tunable electric conductivity in metal-organic coordination polymers is high interest for nanoelectronic applications. As the electronic properties these materials are strongly dependent on their microstructure, assembly into thin films with well-controlled growth direction and thickness crucial practical devices. Here, we report deposition one-dimensional (1D) polym...
