Abstract

A rapid, mild and high-yield microwave synthesis of 1D isotypical [Ln(H₄bmt)(H₅bmt)(H₂O)₂]·3H₂O coordination polymers is presented. The La³⁺-based material is highly active as a heterogeneous catalyst in the methanolysis of styrene oxide at nearly room temperature. Eu³⁺- and Tb³⁺-doped materials are very effective UV-to-visible light converters.
