The title lanthanide complex, [Er2(C6H2O4)3(H2O)6]·18H2O, is isostructural with its La, Gd, Yb and Lu analogues. The Er3+ ion, located on a threefold rotation axis, is nine-coordinated in a distorted tricapped trigonal–prismatic geometry, which is completed by six oxygen atoms from three dhbq2− ligands and three oxygen atoms from coordinated water molecules. Each dhbq2− ligand acts in a μ2-bis(bidentate) bridging mode to connect two Er3+ ions to form honeycomb (6,3) two-dimensional sheets extending in the ab plane, having an Er⋯Er separation of 8.7261 (2) Å. In the crystal, extensive O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the coordinated water molecules and the water molecules of crystallization, as well as the oxygen atoms of the dhbq2− ligands, generate an overall three-dimensional supramolecular network.

1. Chemical context
Over the past few decades, lanthanide-based coordination polymers (LnCPs) have attracted significant attention because their high ; Bünzli & Piguet, 2005; Cui et al., 2018). Besides transition metal ions, lanthanide ions feature high coordination numbers and flexible coordination geometries, which facilitate the formation of diverse extended structures. Since lanthanide(III) ions have a high affinity to hard donor atoms, ligands containing oxygen atoms such as carboxylic acids (Xu et al., 2016), phosphoric acids (Mao, 2007), (Ovsyannikov et al., 2017) and β-diketones (Vigato et al., 2009) have been used extensively in the synthesis of new types of LnCPs. On the basis of the above considerations, we selected 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (H2dhbq) as the ligand to react with erbium(III) nitrate hexahydrate under solvothermal conditions to construct a new erbium(III)-based CP, [Er2(dhbq)3(H2O)6]·18H2O, (I), which is isotypic with its La, Gd, Yb and Lu analogues (Abrahams et al., 2002). Herein, we report its structure.

The contains one third of an Er3+ ion, half of a dhbq2− ligand, one coordinated water molecule and three water molecules of crystallization. The Er3+ ion is located on a threefold rotation axis, whereas the complete dhbq2− anion is generated by a crystallographic inversion center. As can be seen from Fig. 1, the Er3+ ion is nine-coordinated by six oxygen atoms from three different dhbq2− ligands and three other oxygen atoms from three coordinated water molecules. The of the central Er3+ ion can best be described as having a distorted tricapped trigonal–prismatic geometry, as depicted in Fig. 2, in which the O—Er—O bond angles range from 65.01 (5) to 139.97 (7)°. The Er—O bond lengths in the title complex lie between 2.3577 (15) and 2.4567 (15) Å, mean 2.393 Å. The whole dhbq2− anion is nearly planar: the r.m.s. deviation from the mean plane through all of the non-H atoms is 0.021 Å, with a maximum displacement from this plane of 0.033 (2) Å for atom C2. As can be seen from Fig. 3, the dhbq2− ligand acts in a μ2-bis(bidentate) bridging mode, connecting two Er3+ ions to form a honeycomb (6,3) sheet extending in the ab plane, having a Er⋯Er separation of 8.7261 (2) Å.
of (I)3. Supramolecular features
In the crystal, extensive O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions (Table 1) are observed between the oxygen atoms of the coordinated (O3) and lattice (O4 and O5) water molecules as well as between the water (O5 and O6) molecules of crystallization. Other O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions involve O6 and the dhbq2− oxygen atom, and this interaction further links neighbouring sheets into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure (Fig. 4).
4. Database survey
A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.39 update February 2018; Groom et al., 2016) for complexes of dhbq2− ligand gave 94 hits. They include the isotypic crystal structures (Abrahams et al., 2002) with La (MIZXAU), Gd (MIZXEY), Yb (MIZXIC) and Lu (MIZXOI). In most cases, the dhbq2− ligand acts in a μ2-bis(bidentate) bridging mode to the central metal ions. Comparing the mean Ln—O bond length and the unit-cell volume for the title complex with the La, Gd, Yb and Lu analogues (Abrahams et al., 2002), the values decrease as the ionic radius of the Ln3+ ions decreases in the order La [La—O = 2.540 Å, V = 3289.3 (16) Å3] > Gd [Gd—O = 2.438 Å, V = 3162.7 (7) Å3] > Er [Er—O = 2.393 Å, V = 3107.18 (13) Å3] > Yb [Yb—O = 2.377 Å, V = 3087.1 (4) Å3] > Lu [Lu—O = 2.368 Å, V = 3074.2 (4) Å3], which is consistent with the lanthanide contraction effect.
5. Synthesis and crystallization
A mixture of Er(NO3)3·6H2O (46.2 mg, 0.1 mmol) and H2dhbq (14.2 mg, 0.1 mmol) in distilled H2O (4 ml) and DMF (1 ml) was placed in a 20 ml vial and stirred at room temperature for 10 min. The mixture was sealed tightly, placed in an oven and then heated to 358 K under autogenous pressure for 12 h. After the reactor was cooled to room temperature, block-shaped dark-red crystals were filtered off, washed with deionized H2O and dried in air at room temperature. Yield: 57% based on ErIII source.
6. Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure . The carbon-bound H atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and refined as riding with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The hydrogen atoms of the water molecules were located from difference-Fourier maps but were refined with distance restraints of O—H = 0.84 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
