In the title coordination polymer, {[Ag₄Er₂(C₆H₄NO₂)₅(C₂O₄)₂(NO₃)(H₂O)]·4H₂O}_n, each Er^III atom is coordinated in a bicapped trigonal–prismatic coordination geometry by three O atoms from two isonicotinate (IN) ligands, four O atoms from two oxalate ligands and one O atom from either a nitrate ion or a water molecule, both of which are half-occupied over the same site. One Ag^I atom has a Y-shaped geometry defined by one N atom from one IN ligand, one O atom from another IN ligand and one O atom from an oxalate ligand. The other Ag^I atom is coordinated by two IN ligands and one O atom from an oxalate ligand. One of the IN ligands is disordered over an inversion center and forms a bridge between two centrosymmetric Ag^I ions. Due to the disorder, this IN ligand coordinates to the Ag atom through either the pyridyl N or the carboxylate O atoms. The IN and oxalate ligands link the Er and Ag atoms into a three-dimensional coordination framework. O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed in the crystal structure.

Comment top

The design and construction of transition-lanthanide metal complexes have gained great recognition over the last decade because of their intriguing network topologies and potential applications, and due to their magnetic properties, their capacity for gas storage, as luminescent materials, and so on (Barbour, 2006; Kepert, 2006; Kong et al., 2008; Rao et al., 2004; Zhang et al., 2005). Isonicotinic acid is a multifunctional bridging ligand possessing of oxygen and nitrogen donors, which can thus be utilized to construct lanthanide-transition heterometallic complexes via the carboxyl oxygen atoms binding to lanthanides and nitrogen atoms bonding to transition metal ions such as Ag^I or Cu^I ions (Gheorghe et al., 2002). On the basis of above considerations, we chose nicotinic acid, mixed 4 d–4f metal ions and nitric acid as our building blocks. A new three-dimensional 4 d–4f coordination framework resulted from the hydrothermal treatment of Er₂O₃, AgNO₃, oxalic acid, isonicotinic acid and nitric acid in water.

As depicted in Fig. 1, the asymmetric unit of the title compound contains one Er^III atom, two Ag^I atoms, two and a half IN ligands, two half oxalate anions, each on an inversion center, a half-occupied nitrate ion, a half-occupied coordinated water molecule and two uncoordinated water molecules. The Er^III atom is eight-coordinated in a bicapped trigonal prism coordination geometry by three O atoms from two IN ligands, four O atoms from two oxalate ligands and one O atom from either a nitrate ion or a water molecule, both of which are half-occupied over the same site (Table 1). The Ag1 atom is located in a Y-shaped configuration, defined by one N atom from one IN ligand, one O atom from another IN ligand and one O atom from one oxalate ligand. One of the IN ligands is disordered on an inversion center halfway between two Ag2 atoms and forms a bridge between the two Ag2 atoms. Due to the inversion disorder of this IN ligand, Ag2 is thus coordinated either to two N atoms or to a pyridyl N and two carboxylate O atoms from two IN ligands. In the crystal structure, a zigzag Er–oxalate–Ag chain is formed via the oxalate ligand. The chains are linked by pillared IN ligands to form a two-dimensional layer. The layers are further interconnected by Ag₂(IN)₃ units to form a three-dimensional coordination framework. The supramolecular structure are further stabilized by O—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds involving the carboxylate groups, uncoordinated water molecules and disordered nitrate ions (Table 2; Fig. 2).

Experimental top

A mixture of Er₂O₃ (0.192 g, 0.5 mmol), AgNO₃ (0.169 g, 1 mmol), isonicotinic acid (0.123 g, 1 mmol), oxalic acid (0.09 g, 1 mmol), HNO₃ (0.12 ml) and H₂O (10 ml) was placed in a 23 ml Teflon-lined reactor, which was heated to 433 K for 3 d and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 10 K h^-1. The pale-purple crystals obtained were washed with water and dried in air (yield 46% based on Er).
