These two-dimensional compounds have been characterized and the crystal structures have been solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique, resulting in layers along the bc plane based on pymca and acetate anions that act as bridging ligands between metal atoms. Given that pymca and acetate anions possess carboxylate and hetero-nitrogen groups, it is possible to build a coordination polymer whose metal centers have a nine coordination. Furthermore, static and dynamic magnetic measurements of compound 1 reveal the lack of single molecule-magnet (SMM) behavior in this system due to the following two effects: (i) the ligand field does not stabilize magnetic ground states well separated from excited states, and (ii) anisotropy axes are not collinear, according to results with Magellan software. On another level, luminescent properties of compounds 1 and 2 are attributed to singlet π-π* transitions centered on pymca ligand as corroborated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations.}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia FQM-394}, organization = {Red Guipuzcoana de Ciencia, Tecnologia e Innovacion OF218/2018}, organization = {University of Basque Country GIU 17/13}, organization = {Basque Government IT1005-16}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (MCIU/AEI/FEDER, UE) PGC2018-102052-A-C22 PGC2018-102052-B-C21 PGC2018-102047-B-I00}, organization = {European funding (ERDF)}, organization = {European funding (ESF)}, organization = {Government of the Basque Country}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Coordination polymer}, keywords = {Pyrimidine-2-carboxylate}, keywords = {Lanthanides}, keywords = {Luminescence}, keywords = {Magnetism}, title = {Magnetic and Luminescent Properties of Isostructural 2D Coordination Polymers Based on 2-Pyrimidinecarboxylate and Lanthanide Ions}, doi = {10.3390/cryst10070571}, author = {García García, Amalia and Goñi Cárdenas, Ainhoa and Salinas Castillo, Alfonso and Choquesillo Lazarte, Duane and Rodríguez Diéguez, Antonio}, }
