a b s t r a c t Two extended architectures, Na2[Cu(en)2]9{K4Na2[Dy(SiW11O39)2]2}·32H2O (1), K2[Cu(en)2]9{K4Na2[Ho(SiW11O39)2]2}·41H2O (2) (en= ethylenediamine), have been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, element analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that both 1 and 2 contain a tetrameric polyoxoanions, consisting of four {α-SiW11O39} building blocks, two lanthanide cations, a {K4Na2} linking fragment and four decorating [Cu(en)2]2+ groups. Interestingly, the tetrameric polyoxoanions in 1 and 2 are bridged into a one dimensional (1D) infinite chain by additional [Cu(en)2]2+ bridges. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Polyoxometalates (POMs), a unique class of metal-oxygen cluster complexes, have been used in numerous fields, such as catalysis, magnetochemistry, photochemistry, materials science, and medicine, as their remarkable structures and properties [1–3]. In the past decades, design and synthesis of multinuclear transition-metal (TM) substituted POMs has received much of its impetus from their intriguing variety of architectures and their fascinating chemical and physical properties [4,5]. Simultaneously, lanthanide (Ln) cations, because of their multiple coordination requirements and oxophilicity, are suitable to incorporate with POMs to form functional materials with potential applications in magnetism and optics [6,7]. As a result, lots of such multinuclear TM or Ln-substituted POMs have hitherto been reported, which have been regarded as an important family of POM chemistry. In comparison to the extensive work on the TM or Ln-substituted POMs, considerably less attention has been paid on the 3d–4f heterometallic POMs [8–12]. In the reaction, the reaction competitions in 3d–4f-POM synthetic systems among the highly negative polyoxoanions, Ln cations and TM cations appears to be one of the key factors behind the low number of heterometallic clusters reported [8]. Interestingly, Kögerler et al. reported two heterometallic POMs by reactions of the lacunary polyoxoanions with the preformed heterometallic clusters [CeIV3MnIV2O6(OH)2]6+ and [CeMn6O9(O2CCH3)9(NO3)(H2O)2], which have successfully avoided competition among the highly negative polyoxoanions, Ln cations and TM cations [9]. Meanwhile, Mialane's group reported the magnetic {LnCu3(OH)3H2O} cubane-containing POMs by reaction of the [A-α-SiW9O34]10− unit with the Cu2+, Ln3+ in the presence of adapted exogenous ligands [10].

two dimeric polyoxoanions [{Ce(H2O)2}2Mn2(B-α-GeW9O34)2] 8− and [{CeIV(OAc)}CuII3(H2O)(B-α-GeW9O34)2] 11− were isolated by Reinoso and his co-workers [11]. In the past two years, Niu et al. reported several organic–inorganic hybrids assembled from [Ln(α-PW11O39)2] 11− polyoxoanions and copper linkers [12]. We have worked in this field for a long time, and reported a series of 3d and 4f heterometals-containing POMs [13]. In this paper, two extended architectures built upon 3d–4f heterometals-containing silicotungstate clusters were isolated under hydrothermal conditions by introducing the exogenous ligands into 3d–4f-POM reaction systems. Compounds 1 and 2 were synthesized by reactions of the monovacant POMs K8[β2-SiW11O39]•14H2O, Cu(NO3)2, Ln3+ ions and the exogenous ligands en under hydrothermal conditions. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveal that polyoxoanions 1 and 2 are isostructural and crystallize in the same space group P2(1)/n. Therefore, only the structure of 1 is described in detail. As shown in Fig. 1, polyoxoanion 1 exhibits 1D chain-like structures built up of a tetrameric aggregate {K4Na2[Dy(SiW11O39)2]2}11− and [Cu(en)2] 2+ groups. In the 1D chain, the tetrameric aggregate is composed of four [α-SiW11O39] units which possess a monovacant α-Keggin structural feature, resulting by removal of one [WO6] octahedron from the saturated α-Keggin structure (Figure. S1). Two neighboring [α-SiW11O39] units are fused together by a octa-coordinated Dy(III) cation with the bond length of 2.34(2)– 2.42(2) Å, resulting in a sandwich-type silicotungstate cluster [Dy(SiW11O39)2] (Figs. 2 and S1). Interestingly, the sandwich-type structure was decorated by two Cu 2+ cations (Cu(3) and Cu(4)) (Fig. 2), which are in the penta- and hexa-coordinated environment, respectively. The Cu(3) 2+ cation displays the square pyramid geometry defined by for N atoms from two en ligands [Cu–N, 1.96(2)–1.98(2) Å] and one terminal O atom from the [Dy(α-SiW11O39)2] moiety [Cu–O,

2.396(18) Å]. The Cu(4) 2+ cation adopts the octahedral coordination configuration, which was completed by four N atoms from two en ligands [Cu–N, 1.98(2)–2.039(19) Å], one water ligand [Cu–Ow, 2.473 Å] and one terminal O atom from the [Dy(α-SiW11O39)2] moiety [Cu–O, 2.775 Å]. Additionally, two adjacent sandwich polyoxoanions [Dy(SiW11O39)2] are bridged by a [K4Na2] group into a tetrameric aggregate (Figs. 2 and S2). In 1, each tetrameric aggregate connects with two [Cu(5)(en)2] 2+ units, and each [Cu(5)(en)2] 2+ unit bridges to two tetrameric aggregates resulting in an infinite 1D chain running along the a-axis (Fig. 1). In this polymeric chain, the Cu(5)2+ cation coordinates to two tetrameric aggregates by two bridging oxygen atoms and links them to constitute the 1D chain with Cu\O bond lengths of 2.571(22) Å, while the four remaining octahedral coordination sites of Cu(5) 2+ are occupied by four N atoms from two en molecules with Cu\N bond lengths ranging from 1.99 (2) to 2.011 (18) Å. In this field, the sandwich-type polyoxoanions mostly provide terminal oxygen atoms to combine with the linkers forming the extended structural materials. The sandwich-type polyoxoanion coordinating with the linking groups via bridging oxo-atoms is rarely observed in the POM chemistry [14]. The bond lengths and angles in the two compounds are not unusual. All the W centers exhibit octahedral coordination environments and the Ln3+ ions in the two compounds are all in an octacoordinated fashion. The oxidation states of the W, Cu and Ln sites are determined based on the bond lengths and angles, charge balance consideration and bond valence sum calculations, indicating that all W, Cu, Dy and Ho atoms in 1 and 2 are in the +6, +2, +3 and +3 oxidation state, respectively. Bond valence sum calculations also reveal

that the terminal oxygen atoms associated with the Cu 2+ ions are all diprotonated. The solid-state magnetic behaviors of 1 and 2 were measured in the temperature range of 2.0–300 K at a 0.1 T magnetic field (Figs. 3 and 4), and was plotted as χT versus T. As shown in Fig. 3, χT value slowly decreases from 16.7 cm3 K mol− 1 at room temperature to 16.0 cm3 K mol− 1 at 55 K, and then rapidly drops to a value of 12.1 cm3 K mol− 1 at 2 K. The χ− 1 versus T plot is fitted by the Curie–Weiss law in the whole temperature range with C = 16.83 cm3·K·mol− 1 and Ө = −5.43 K. The χT value of 1 is 16.7 cm 3 K mol − 1 at room temperature, which is a little lower than that of the expected values for nine Cu 2+ (S = 1/2) and one Dy III noninteracting ions: 17.5 cm 3 K mol − 1 for 1 (Dy III: 6 H15/2, S = 5/2, L = 5, g = 4/3, C = 14.17 cm 3 K mol − 1). For compound 2, χT value slowly decreases from 17.5 cm3 K mol− 1 at 300 K to 16.8 cm3 K mol− 1 at 55 K, and then rapidly drops to a value of 9.8 cm3 K mol− 1 at 2 K. The χ− 1 versus T plot is fitted by the Curie– Weiss law in the whole temperature range with C =17.6 cm3·K·mol− 1 and Ө = −6.49 K. The χT value of 2 is 17.6 cm3 K mol− 1 which is a reasonably agreement with the expected values for nine Cu2+ (S = 1/2) and one HoIII noninteracting ions: 17.43 cm3 K mol− 1 (HoIII: S = 2, L = 6, g= 5/4, C= 14.06 cm3·K·mol − 1). The χT value slowly decreases upon lowing the temperature of the two compounds may result from spin-orbit coupling of lanthanide ion. In conclusion, two 1D chain-like structures built upon 3d–4f heterometals-containing silicotungstates have been obtained by the reactions of K8[β2-SiW11O39]·14H2O, Dy 3+, and Cu 2+ with the assistance of organic ligands under hydrothermal conditions. The chainlike structures in 1 and 2 provide novel examples of condensation of discrete clusters through TM and Ln cations into extended structures. Future research will focus on the synthesis of 3D porous framework
