Abstract
A new two-dimensional lanthanide coordination polymer, [Ln(C 7H3NO4)(C7H4NO 4)(H2O)]n (Ln = trivalent Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, and Tb) has been hydrothermally synthesized from reaction with 2,3- pyridinedicarboxylic acid. The compound crystallizes in the P21/c space group and is built from sheets composed of carboxylate-bridged Ln dimers stacked along the [1 0 0] direction and held together by hydrogen bonding between carboxylic acid groups. The organic component is successful at sensitizing lanthanide emission in the Sm, Eu, and Tb compounds with quantum yields experimentally determined of 0.60, 4.6, and 2.6%, respectively.

Funding
The authors would like to thank Florida Atlantic University for funding this project, particularly the Division of Undergraduate Research who awarded a research grant to T.T.K. for her work on the quantitative measurements of luminescence in lanthanide containing compounds. Work performed by K.E.K. was done at Argonne National Laboratory, operated by UChicagoArgonne LLC for the United States of America Department of Energy under contract number DE-AC-02-06CH11357 and was supported by a DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Single-Investigator and Small-Group Research Project.
