New Composites CP@AC Based on Lanthanide Succinates

Composites derived from coordination polymers have been gathering great attention due to their singular properties and applications, especially catalysis and adsorption. In this work, seven new composites based on activated carbon (AC) and lanthanide-succinates (LnSuc; Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er and Tm, and Suc = succinate) 3D-coordination polymers were obtained using hydrothermal reactions. Coordination polymers in LnSuc@AC composites (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) crystallize in monoclinic system and C2/c space group. However, the LnSuc in composites with Dy, Er and Tm have different crystal structu...
