Abstract
The reactions of cadmium(II) and europium(III) pentafluorobenzoates ([Cd(Pfbz) $$\left( {{{{\text{H}}}_{{\text{2}}}}{\text{O}}} \right)_{{\text{4}}}^{ + }$$ }n ∙ n(Pfbz)–] (I) and [Eu2(Pfbz)6(H2O)8] ∙ 2H2O (II), respectively; Pfbz is pentafluorobenzoic acid anion) with the N-donor ligands (pyridine (Py), 2-phenylpyridine (Phpy), and 3-ethynylpyridine (Etypy)) afford a series of new Cd–Ln complexes with Pfbz– anions and Py or its substituted analogues: [Cd2Eu2(Pfbz)10(Py)4] (III), [Cd2Eu2(Pfbz)10(Phpy)2(MeCN)2] · 5MeCN (IV), and [CdEu2(Pfbz)8(Etypy)(H2O)2]n ∙ 3nMeCN ∙ n(Etypy) (VI). Similar reactions of compounds I and II with 2,4-lutidine (Lut), isoquinoline (Iquin), 2,2'-biquinoline (Biquin), and 7,8-benzoquinoline (Bquin) give the following cadmium complexes as the major products of crystallization from the reaction solutions: [Cd(Pfbz)2(Lut)]n (V), [Cd(H2O)(Pfbz)2(Iquin)2]n (VII), [Cd(Рfbz)2(Biquin)] (VIII), and $$[{\text{Cd}}{{({\text{Pfbz}})}_{{\text{3}}}}]_{n}^{-}$$ ∙ n(HBquin)+ (IX), respectively. The X-ray diffraction data (CIF files CCDC nos. 1987805 (I), 1987808 (III), 1987829 (IV), 1987817 (V), 1987822 (VI), 1987823 (VII), 1987824 (VIII), and 1987826 (IX)) are examples of the formation of new unusual coordination polymers.
