abstract
Rationalization of the synthetic conditions allowed the predictable fast sustainable preparation of [La-2(H(3)nmp)(2)(H2O)(4)]center dot 4.5H(2)O having a 1D coordination polymer. The material exhibits a remarkable chemical stability, can be converted into other layered compounds, and is an excellent catalyst surpassing other related materials.
