Abstract Two Europium(III) complexes [Eu(NCP)(1,4-bdc)]n·0.5H2O (1) and [Eu(NCP)(4,4′-bpdc)]n·0.75H2O (2) (HNCP = 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)imidazo(4,5-f)-(1,10)phenanthroline, 1,4-H2bdc = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid, 4,4′-H2bpdc = 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid) have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized via elemental analysis, infrared spectrometry and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analyses revealed that two complexes all exhibit three-dimensional network structures with a Schlafli symbol of 412·63 topologies. In addition, these two metal-organic frameworks present excellent thermal stabilities and the preferential adsorption of CO2 over N2.
