Abstract
In this work, by using a flexible tricarboxylate ligand 5-(4-carboxybenzyloxy) isophthalic acid (H3L), a novel pillar-layered Mn–organic framework, namely, [(CH3CH2)2NH2][Mn3(HL)L(AC)2] (SQNU-23, SQNU = Shangqiu Normal University), was synthesized by using a DEF/HAc solvent system. In SQNU-23, each S-shaped Mn-O chain is interconnected by two bridging modes of organic ligand to form a 3D pillar-layered framework with 1D rectangular channels. The solid-state fluorescence of SQNU-23 exhibits a significant red shift of about 140 nm compared to that of organic ligand. Moreover, SQNU-23 as a luminescent thermometer exhibits good linear dependence in the wide temperature range (100 to 300 K).
