Abstract
The main focus of this thesis is to present the structural and photophysical characteristics of the coordination polymers [Ln(C7H3NO4)(C7H4NO4)(H2O)]n (Ln is Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, and Tb), as well as attempting to synthesize the novel organic linker 4,4'(4,8-Dihydrobenzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-4,8-diyl)dibenzoic acid (BDTDC). Various lanthanide salts were coordinated with 2,3-pyridinecarboxylate (2,3- pydc) via hydrothermal synthesis. ... Progress was made toward the synthesis of a novel metal-organic framework linker BDTDC. Synthesis of the intermediate benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene as well as the determination of the crystal structure, were performed successfully and are reported herein.
