Abstract: Three new rare earth coordination polymers of pimelic acid (H2pim), [Nd(Hpim)(pim)(H2O)] ·2H2O(1) and [RE 2(pim)3(H2O)] ·H2O [RE=Er(2), RE=Ho(3)] , were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and X-ray crystallography. In complex 1, Nd(Ⅲ) is bridged by pimelic acid ligands to form3D microporous structure. There are two types of lattice water in complex 1. One lies in microporous structure and the other is used to form O—H…O hydrogen bond. In complex 2, Er(Ⅲ) ions are connected by pimelate ligands into a 2D microporous layer structure. Two types of O—H…O hydrogen bonds make 2D framework into 3D supramolecular structure. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses shows that complex 3 is isostructural to complex 2. In three complexes, different conformations for H2pim are found, showing that coordinating characteristics of the flexible ligands are different from the rigid ligands.
