Abstract
Lifetime-encoded materials are particularly attractive as optical tags, however examples are rare and hindered in practical application by complex interrogation methods. Here, we demonstrate a design strategy towards multiplexed, lifetime-encoded tags via engineering intermetallic energy transfer in a family of heterometallic rare-earth metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The MOFs are derived from a combination of a high-energy donor (Eu), a low-energy acceptor (Yb) and an optically inactive ion (Gd) with the 1,2,4,5 tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) benzene (TCPB) organic linker. Precise manipulation of the luminescence decay dynamics over a wide microsecond regime is achieved via control over metal distribution in these systems. Demonstration of this platform's relevance as a tag is attained via a dynamic double encoding method that uses the braille alphabet, and by incorporation into photocurable inks patterned on glass and interrogated via digital high-speed imaging. This study reveals true orthogonality in encoding using independently variable lifetime and composition, and highlights the utility of this design strategy, combining facile synthesis and interrogation with complex optical properties.

Abstract
Microwave-assisted reactions in DMSO, between a hexa-lanthanide octahedral complex ([Ln6(μ6-O)(μ3-OH)8(NO3)6(H2O)12·2NO3·2H2O] with Ln = Nd-Yb plus Y) and either 3-halogenobenzoic acid (hereafter symbolized by 3-xbH with x = f or c for fluoro or chloro, respectively) or 4-halogenobenzoic acid (hereafter symbolized by 4-xbH with x = f, c, or b for fluoro, chloro, or bromo, respectively), lead to 1D lanthanide coordination polymers. These coordination polymers are almost iso-reticular. The crystal structure is described on the basis of the coordination polymer with chemical formula [Tb(4-fb)3(DMSO)(H2O)2·DMSO]∞ obtained from 4-fluorobenzoic acid (4-fbH) and the Tb3+-based octahedral complex: It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1̅ (n°2), with the following cell parameters: a = 9.8561(9) Å, b = 10.5636(9) Å, c = 15.1288(15) Å, α = 100.840(3)°, β = 95.552(3)°, γ = 110.482(3)°, V = 1426.4(3) Å3, and Z = 2. It can be described on the basis of 1D molecular chains. Luminescence properties of the Tb and Eu derivatives have been measured and compared vs the halogeno-function and its position (meta or para). Some molecular alloys have also been prepared to estimate the strength of the intermetallic energy transfers. To confirm that the hexa-nuclear complexes (and not the halogenated ligand) have a structuring effect for the formation of the straight chain-like molecular motif, another coordination polymer with chemical formula [Tb(4-npa)3DMSO·DMSO·H2O]∞ where 4-npaH symbolizes 4-nitro-phenyl-acetic acid has been prepared. It crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1̅ (n°2) with the following cell parameters: a = 7.8784(8) Å, b = 14.8719(16) Å, c = 15.2753(17) Å, α = 73.612(4)°, β = 86.406(4)°, γ = 83.104(4)°, V = 1703.8(3) Å3, and Z = 2. Its crystal structure can be described on the basis of a molecular motif that is similar to the one observed in the five previous crystal structures which confirms the structuring effect of the hexa-nuclear complexes.

Abstract
The exploration and development of coordination nanocages can provide an approach to control chemical reactions beyond the bounds of the flask, which has aroused great interest due to their significant applications in the field of molecular recognition, supramolecular catalysis, and molecular self-assembly. Herein, we take the advantage of a semirigid and nonsymmetric bridging ligand (H5L) with rich metal-chelating sites to construct an unusual and discrete 3d-4f metallacage, [Zn2Er4(H2L)4(NO3)Cl2(H2O)]·NO3·xCH3OH·yH2O (Zn2Er4). The 3d-4f Zn2Er4 cage possesses a quadruple-stranded structure, and all of the ligands wrap around an open spherical cavity within the core. The self-assembly of the unique cage not only ensures the structural stability of the Zn2Er4 cage as a nanoreactor in solution but also makes the bimetallic lanthanide cluster units active sites that are exposed in the medium-sized cavity. It is important to note that the Zn2Er4 cage as a homogeneous catalyst has been successfully applied to catalyze three-component aza-Darzens reactions of formaldehyde, anilines, and α-diazo esters without another additive under mild conditions, displaying better catalytic activity, higher specificity, short reaction time, and low catalyst loadings. A possible mechanism for this three-component aza-Darzens reaction catalyzed by the Zn2Er4 cage has been proposed. These experimental results have demonstrated the great potential of the discrete 3d-4f metallacage as a host nanoreactor for the development of supramolecular or molecular catalysis.
