[C N H14][Nd (C O ) (SO ) (H O) ]·H O, a New Oxalate-sulfate
absorption signals at 1598 and 1474 cmϪ1 correspond to
the antisymmetric and symmetric stretching bands for the
carboxylate groups of the oxalate anion. The absorption
bands associated with the sulfate groups appear in the
Ϫ1
region from 1158 to 616 cm
.
The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of 1 (Figure 5)
displays a weight loss from room temperature to 250 °C,
corresponding to the evacuation of lattice and coordinated
water molecules (calcd.: 10.46 %; observed: 10.31 %). From

luminescence decay curve obtained from time-resolved lu-
minescence experiments could be fitted monoexponentially,
thus confirming that the chemical environment of the Nd3
ion is uniform in the materials [34]. The corresponding life-
