Construction of a Ytterbium Supramolecular Compound from 5,5＇-（Buta-diyne- 1,4-diyl）diisophthalic Acid

A novel 3D ytterbium supramolecular compound, [Yb（HBDDC）（H20）4]·2H2O（1）, was synthesized via 5,5＇-（buta-diyne-1,4-diyl）diisophthalic acid ligand（HaBDDC） under solvothermal conditions. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that compound 1 crystallizes in triclinic system, PT space group with a=0.71372（14） nm, b=1.0566（2） nm, c=1.7969（4） nm, a=101.01（3）°, β=98.15（3）°, γ=99.17（3）° and V=1.2922（4） nm3. Compound 1 exhi- bits a special infinite 1D chain, which stacks parallel each other in an ABAB sequence, leading to the formation of a 3D supramolecular structure owing to the strong π-π interactions between adjacent phenyl ring groups. Moreover, compound 1 manifests excellent luminescent property.
