A new 3-D coordination polymer containing both 3d and 4f ionshas been designed. Its chemical formula is La2[Cu(pba)]3(H2O)8·8H2O. It crystallizes in the quadratic system, space group I41/awith a = 42.4947(9) Å, c = 16.3378(3) Å, and Z = 16. Its crystalstructure can be described as a 3-D molecular framework exhibitinga complex network of interconnected zigzaglike channels. Oncecrystallization water molecules are removed, this compoundpresents a high potential porosity and a low density. The porosityhas been evaluated using Connolly's algorithm.
