Two novel lanthanide–carboxylate polymeric complexes containing nine-coordinate lanthanide metal centers, Nd(H2btec)1/2(btec)1/2(H2O)n (1), Gd(Hbtec)n (2), have been prepared by hydrothermal reaction of NdCl3·6H2O or Gd(NO3)3·6H2O with 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride. Complex 1 crystallizes in triclinic space group P, with a = 6.3822(5), b = 9.3323(7), c = 9.5201(7) Å, α = 88.422(2), β = 74.446(2), γ = 76.647(10)°, V = 531.13(7) Å3 and Z = 2. Complex 2 crystallizes in triclinic space group P, with a = 7.2325(7), b = 7.9946(8), c = 8.7833(9) Å, α = 65.4120(10), β = 86.272(2), γ = 84.377(2)°; V = 459.42(8) Å3 and Z = 2. The two complexes have high thermal stability and are stable up to 400 °C. Magnetic susceptibility measurements for 1 and 2 are consistent with the occurrence of antiferromagnetic interactions through carboxylate bridges.
