Two-dimensional dysprosium(III) triiodate(V) dihydrate, Dy(IO3)3(H2O)·H2O

Abstract: During our research into novel nonlinear optical materials using 1,10-phenanthroline as an appending ligand on lanthanide iodates, crystals of an infinite layered DyIII iodate compound, Dy(IO3)3(H2O)·H2O, were obtained under hydrothermal conditions. The DyIII cation has a dicapped trigonal prismatic coordination environment consisting of one water O atom and seven other O atoms from seven iodate anions. These iodate anions bridge the DyIII cations into a two-dimensional structure. Through O-H...O hydrogen bonds, all of these layers stack along [111], giving a supramolecular channel, with the solvent water molecules filling the voids.
