Five isostructural three-dimensional (3D) lanthanide (Ln) frameworks [LnCl(bpdc)(DMF)] (Ln = La (1), Ce (2), Pr (3), Nd (4), and Sm (5), H2bpdc = 4,4'-biphenyl-dicarboxylic acid, DMF = N,Ndimethylformamide) have been solvothermally synthesized and characterized by TGA, IR, and X-ray single crystal diffraction. The frameworks contain unusual Ln-carboxylate/C1 chains, and which are extended by bpdc(2-) linkers to form 4-connected sra networks with ID rhombic channels. The effect of lanthanide contraction induces the decreases of average Ln O and Ln Cl distances from La to Sm. 4 exhibits strong characteristic luminescence of Nd3+ ions in the near-infrared (NIR) region, resulting from the sensitization of bpdc(2-). 3 displays weak NIR emission due to the inefficient sensitization of Pr3+ ions. The depopulation of the Stark levels and possible antiferromagnetic interactions within the Lncarboxylate/C1 chains lead to the continuous decreases of chi T-M for 2-4 along the decreasing temperatures.
