A novel one-dimensional chain coordination polymer of terbium(III) with p-methylbenzoic acid, 2,2′-bipyridine and 4,4′-bipyridine has been synthesized and characterized. The crystal data of this complex C 39H37N3O8Tb are as follows: monoclinic system, space group P21 / n, a=0.974 01(10) nm, b=2.605 8(3) nm, c=1.457 77(14) nm, β=96.108 (2)°, V=3.678 9 (6) nm 3, Dc=1.507 g·cm-3, M r=834.64, Z=4, μ, (Mo ATα)=1.978 mm-1, F (000)=1 684, R1= 0.032 4, wR2=0.063 4. The crystal structure of the complex shows that the terbium(III) ion is coordinat...
