Two new Ce(III) coordination polymers formulated as Ce(bpdc)(Hbpdc)(DMF)2 (1) and [Ce2(bpdc)3(DMF)2(H2O)4]·2DMF (2) (H2bpdc = 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid, DMF = N,N-Dimethyl formamide) have been synthesized under solvothermal condition and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 2.2520(2), b = 1.17787(12), c = 1.16128(11) nm, α = 90, β = 95.5600(10), γ = 90°, V = 3.0658(5) nm3, Z = 4, Mr = 771.70, Dc = 1.672×10-9 g/cm3. Compound 2 crystallizes in triclinic, space group Pwith a = 1.00610(10), b = 1.17219(11), c = 1.36891(14) nm, α = 66.9340(10), β = 87.182(2), γ = 76.2570(10) °, V = 1.4411(2) nm3, Z = 1, Mr = 1371.25, Dc = 1.580×10-9 g/cm3. Both compounds exhibit 3D Ce(III)–organic frameworks. Furthermore, thermal stability and luminescent properties were also investigated. CCDC:(1)913670, (2)909563.
