Cerium(iii) and 5-methylisophthalate-based MOFs with slow relaxation of magnetization and photoluminescence emission

Two novel Ce( iii ) metal organic frameworks (MOFs) with formulas [Ce(5Meip)(H-5Meip)] n GR-MOF-17 and [CeCl(5Meip)(DMF)] n GR-MOF-18 (5Meip = 5-methylisophthalate, DMF = N , N -dimethylformamide) have been synthesized, forming 3-dimensional frameworks.
