In the polymeric title compound, {[Ho2(C6H2O4)3(H2O)6]·18H2O}n, the HoIII ion is nine-coordinated by six O atoms derived from three bidentate 2,5-dihy­droxy-1,4-benzoquinonate (DHBQ2−) ligands and three O atoms from three water mol­ecules. The HoIII ions are connected via three ligands, resulting in the formation of a two-dimensional honeycomb layer parallel to the ab plane. The layer is racemic in which Δ- and Λ-coordination geometries around HoIII ions are alternately arranged. The asymmetric unit comprises a third of a HoIII ion, located on a threefold axis, one-half of a DHBQ2− ion, located on a centre of inversion, one coordinated water mol­ecule and three uncoordinated water mol­ecules.

Lanthanide complexes have attracted attention as magnetic and luminescent materials due to the properties of the 4f orbitals in lanthanide ions. Although the magnetism of mononuclear lanthanide complexes are well understood, studies on polynuclear lanthanide complexes are much less advanced (Ohkoshi et al., 2001). The dimensionality of complexes and coordination geometry around lanthanide ions are key factors to control their magnetic properties. From this viewpoint, constructing polynuclear lanthanide complexes with various topologies are interesting. In our previous work, we reported the 3-D monometallic lanthanide metal assembly, Na5[{Ho(THB4-)2}.7H2O]n (THB = 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene) (Nakabayashi et al., 2009). In this work, we synthesized a 2-D honeycomb network composed of holmium ions (HoIII) and 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinonate, [{Ho2 (DHBQ2-)3 (H2O)6}.18H2O]n (Kitagawa et al., 2002; Robl et al., 1988).

The asymmetric unit comprises a third of a HoIII ion, being located on a three-fold axis, one-half of a DHBQ2- ion, being disposed about a centre of inversion, one coordinated water molecule, and three zeolitic water molecules.

The C—O distances of 1.276 (4) Å (C1—O1) and 1.274 (3) Å (C2—O2) in this compound agree with those of the DHBQ2- ligands which were previously reported, e.g. 1.276 (6) Å (Weiss et al. 1986). In the coordination geometry, a HoIII ion is coordinated to six O atoms from three bidentate DHBQ2- ligands and three O atoms from three water molecules (Fig. 1 and Table 1). The HoIII ion is connected via three ligands, which results in a two-dimensional honeycomb layer with a diameter of 16.6 Å. The layer has a racemic structure in which Δ- and Λ-coordination geometries around HoIII ions are alternately arranged (Fig. 2). The zeolitic water molecules occupy regions between the layers.

The product of the molar magnetic susceptibility (χM) and temperature (T), χMT, values at room temperature was 13.6 cm3 K mol-1. This value nearly corresponds to the expected value of 13.9 cm3 K mol-1 due to HoIII ions (J = 8, L = 6, S = 2, and g = 5/4).

All known compounds of this type have two specific structures, honeycomb or racemic, and show paramagnetism. Mixing lanthanide ions, the chiral lanthanide assemblies with Δ- or Λ-coordination geometries are targeted for synthesis, which should show a magneto-chiral dichroism. A study to clarify this hypotheses, work is currently under way.

Experimental top

Under air, aqueous solutions of 0.1 M Ho(NO3)3 and 0.4 M 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene (THB) (Weider et al., 1985) mixed. THB was gradually oxidized to 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DHBQ) in the mixed solution, and slow complexation of Ho(NO3)3 and DHBQ) produced red crystals of the title polymer in 24% yield within a week. The obtained polycrystalline compound was dried under air. Elemental analysis indicated the formula was [Ho2(C6H2O4)3(H2O)6].17H2O, C18H52O35Ho2, calcd. Ho, 28.18%; C, 18.47%; H, 4.49%, found. Ho, 28.29%; C, 18.23%; H, 4.64%. There is a slight difference of zeolitic water molecules between the elemental analysis and the crystallographic formulation because zeolitic water molecules are easy to be lost from the crystals and their number depends on the drying processes.

Refinement top

The H atoms were placed in their calculated positions,with C—H = 0.95 Å, and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C).
