A novel sheet 4f–3d mixed-metal pyridine dicarboxylate: synthesis, structure, photophysical properties and its transformation to a perovskite oxide†
Abstract
The synthesis, characterization and photophysical properties of a 4f–3d mixed metal compound, Gd(H2O)3Co[C5N1H3(COO)2]3, are described; the structure is unique, consisting of sheets with large pores (ca. 7 Å diameter) in the sheets and transforms to a perovskite
