Organic hybrid europium hexachalcogenidodistannates [{Eu(en) 3 } 2 (μ-OH) 2 ]Sn 2 S 6 ( 1 ), [{Eu(en) 3 } 2 (μ-OH) 2 ]Sn 2 Se 6 ( 2 ), and [Eu(dien) 3 ] 2 [(Sn 2 S 6 )(SH) 2 ] ( 3 ) (en = ethylenediamine, dien = diethylenetriamine) were solvothermally synthesized by the reactions of Sn, S (or Se) and Eu 2 O 3 in en and dien solvents, respectively. Compounds 1 – 3 crystallize in monoclinic space group P 2 1 / n . Crystallographic data for 1 : a  = 10.1158(13), b  = 11.3793(14), c  = 14.9487(15) Å, β  = 98.209(4)°, V  = 1703.1(3) Å 3 , Z  = 2. For 2 : a  = 10.1359(19), b  = 11.771(2), c  = 15.423(3) Å, β  = 99.322(5)°, V  = 1815.8(6) Å 3 , Z  = 2. For 3 : a  = 11.6559(10), b  = 15.1677(13), c  = 14.1732(13) Å, β  = 95.682(2)°, V  = 2493.4(4) Å 3 , Z  = 2. The Eu 3+ ion forms binuclear tetravalent [{Eu(en) 3 } 2 (μ-OH) 2 ] 4+ complex cation to act as counter ion to the [Sn 2 S 6 ] 4− and [Sn 2 Se 6 ] 4− anions in 1 and 2 . But it is coordinated with three dien ligands to form the mononuclear trivalent [Eu(dien) 3 ] 3+ complex cation in 3 . The cations and anions are connected into 3-dimensional networks via O–H···S, N–H···S, or N–H···Se hydrogen bonds, respectively. Graphical Abstract New europium hexachalcogenidodistannate [{Eu(en) 3 } 2 (μ-OH) 2 ]Sn 2 S 6 , [{Eu(en) 3 } 2 (μ-OH) 2 ]Sn 2 Se 6 , and [Eu(dien) 3 ] 2 [(Sn 2 S 6 )(SH) 2 ] with 3-dimensional H-bonding network structures were respectively prepared in ethylenetediamine (en) and diethylenetetriamine (dien) under mild solvothermal conditions.
