Rare-earth (Eu3+, Tb3+) hybrids through amide bridge: Chemically bonded self-assembly and photophysical properties

Self-assembly of heterometallic LnIII–CoIIcoordination polymers: syntheses, structures, and magnetic studies

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] The synthetic strategy for the construction of multi-dimensional CPs has two important aspects: suitable inorganic (metal centers) and organic (ligands) building blocks. Thereinto, lanthanides have become increasingly popular in synthesizing CPs, due to their coordination nature, allowing much more structural styles [18][19][20][21][22][23] than the fixed coordination models for the majority of d-metal ions. [24][25][26] Another major driving force is the intrinsic physical properties (luminescence and magnetism) of the trivalent lanthanide ions.…”
