The results reveal that compounds 14 (I structure) are isomorphous 3-D coordination frameworks containing two-dimensional (2-D) [Zn2(ImDC)2] layers and one-dimensional (1-D) Ln22-O)2(ox) sine wave-like chains with 1-D square channels, while 4′10 coordination polymers (II structure) are also isomorphous and feature 3-D pillar-layered coordination frameworks constructed from 2-D Zn-carboxylate [Zn2(ImDC)2] layers and Ln2(ox) pillars with 1-D flat channels. The structural variation from I to II with the europium ion as a critical point, in which two types of europium complexes 4 and 4′ can reversibly transform into each other, may be attributed to the lanthanide contraction effect. Meanwhile, the adsorption and photoluminescent properties of the partial compounds are also investigated. %I ACS Publications
