A1 Cabeza-Díaz, Aurelio A1 Demadis, Konstantinos D. AB The synthesis, structural characterization, luminescenceproperties, and proton conduction performance of anew family of isostructural cationic 2D layered compounds arereported. These have the general formula [Ln(H4NMP)-(H2O)2]Cl·2H2O [Ln = La3+, Pr3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, Tb3+,Dy3+, Ho3+, H6NMP = nitrilotris(methylphosphonic acid)],and contain Cl− as the counterion. In the case of Ce3+, a 1Dderivative, [Ce2(H3NMP)2(H2O)4]·4.5H2O, isostructural withthe known lanthanum compound has been isolated by simplycrystallization at room temperature. The octa-coordinatedenvironment of Ln3+ in 2D compounds is composed by sixoxygen atoms from three different ligands and two oxygensfrom each bound water. Two of the three phosphonate groupsact as both chelating and bridging linkers, while the third phosphonate group acts solely as a bridging moiety. The materials arestable at low relative humidity at less at 170 °C. However, at high relative humidity transform to other chloride-free phases,including the 1D structure. The proton conductivity of the 1D materials varies in a wide range, the highest values correspondingto the La derivative (σ ≈ 2 × 10−3 S·cm−1 at RH 95% and 80 °C). A lower proton conductivity, 3 × 10−4 S·cm−1, was measuredfor [Gd(H4NMP)(H2O)2]Cl·2H2O at 80 °C, which remains stable under the work conditions used. Absorption andluminescence spectra were recorded for selected [Ln(H4NMP)(H2O)2]Cl·2H2O compounds. In all of them, the observedtransitions are attributed solely to f−f transitions of the lanthanide ions present, as the H4NMP2− organic group has nomeasurable absorption or luminescence properties.
