A novel sheet 4f-3d mixed-metal pyridine dicarboxylate: synthesis, structure, photophysical properties and its transformation to a perovskite oxide.
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 Angstroms diameter) in the sheets and transforms to a perovskite oxide at moderate temperatures.
