Hydrolysis of benzonitrile to benzoate was realized for constructing a zero-dimensional dinuclear europium complex [Eu 2 (pip) 2 (PhCOO) 6 ] via a hydrothermal reaction, where pip denotes 2-phenylimidazo[4,5- f ][1,10]phenanthroline. This complex is very insoluble and stable in water from pH 3 to 10...
