(C4N2H12)3[Ln3(OH)(SO4)7] (Ln = Sm, Eu, and Tb): A Series of Honeycomb-like Open-Framework Lanthanide Sulfates with Extra-Large Channels Containing 24-Membered Rings

A single-ligand-protected Eu60−nGd(Tb)n cluster: a reasonable new approach to expand lanthanide aggregations

Two fascinating configurations were obtained based on mixed-lanthanide conditions, abbreviated as mixed-Ln₆₀. The synthesis provides a way to obtain similar metal-core Ln high-nuclearity clusters, breaking the ionic radius limitation.

Multi-responsive luminescent sensor based on three dimensional lanthanide metal–organic framework

A novel multi-functional luminescent MOF was synthesized, which shows excellent recyclable luminescent sensing for acetone, Fe³⁺, Cr₂O₇²⁻ and 4-NP.

A series of color-tunable light-emitting open-framework lanthanide sulfates containing extra-large 36-membered ring channels

A series of lanthanide sulfates contain 36-ring channels with the pore size (22.0 × 16.8 Å) based on Eu₁₀clusters.

The first organically templated open-framework metal-sulfites with layered and three-dimensional diamondoid structures

The crystallographic signatures and characterization data of two novel organically templated open-framework zinc-sulfite (NH₃CH₂CH₂NH₃)[Zn₃(SO₃)₄], 1 and (CN₃H₆)₂[Zn(SO₃)₂], 2 are reported for the first time using different amines to generate 2D (for 1) and 3D (for 2) assemblies with 4, 6, 8 and 12-membered rings.

A homochiral magnet based on D3 symmetric [(NaO3)Co3] clusters: from spontaneous resolution to absolute chiral induction

A pair novel 3D chiral magnets have been synthesized using the achiral ligand imidazole-4-acrylate via spontaneous resolution, in which the D₃ symmetric chiral [(NaO₆)Co₃] clusters act as nodes. By using chiral induction agent, they are driven to controllable homochiral crystals.

Four tetrazolate-based 3D frameworks with diverse subunits directed by inorganic anions and azido coligand: hydro/solvothermal syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetic properties

Four magnetic frameworks with hourglass-shaped {Cu₅(μ₃-OH)₂}⁸⁺ cluster, linear {Cu₃(μ-Cl)₂}⁴⁺ core, linear {Cu(μ_1,1-N₃)}⁺ chain and trigonal-prismatic {Cu₈(μ₃-tz)₆}¹⁰⁺ motifs were reported.

Organically templated linear metal sulfites

Six novel organically-templated linear metal sulfite coordination polymers based on Zn(ii) and Mn(ii) ions are synthesized using different amines and the role of H-bonding to provide structures with increased dimensionalities are discussed.

Controlled in situ reaction for the assembly of Cu(ii) mixed-ligand coordination polymers: synthesis, structure, mechanistic insights, magnetism and catalysis

Controlled in situ nucleophilic addition reaction results in two Cu(ii) mixed-ligand coordination polymers, and the one-step nucleophilic addition for in situ reaction is proposed.
