Abstract: Two novel 3-D open framework rare-earth sulfates, [Ln4(H2O)4(SO4)10](C4N2H12)4(H2O)4 (Ln = Gd, 1; Eu, 2) were solvothermally synthesized in a water-ethanol mixed solvent system by using piperazine as a template and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The two compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with unit cell parameters of a = 19.691(3) ?,b = 19.249(3) ?,c = 13.186(2) ?, β = 92.33(0)o,V = 4993.5(1) ?3, Z =4 for 1, and a = 19.7233(8) ?,b = 19.2791(8) ?,c = 13.2095(5) ?,β = 92.329(1)o,V = 5018.7(3) ?3, Z = 4 for 2, Both compounds consist of 2D sheets of 8-membered rings and 16-membered rings constructed from edge- or corner-sharing SO4, GdO8 and GdO9 polyhedra. The 2D sheets stack parallel with each other and are pillared by SO4 tetrahedra to form a 3-D open framework, in which the protonated piperazine molecules are located to balance the negative charges of the framework. The solid-state fluorescence spectra of compound 2 show the characteristic luminescent behavior of Eu3+ ions.
