An extended network, {[Dy4(OH)4(asp)3(H2O)8](ClO4)2⋅10 H2O}n, having three‐dimensional channels with a spacing of 11.78 Å (see picture) has been prepared by mixing Dy(ClO4)3 and L‐aspartic acid in aqueous solution, and subsequently adjusting the pH values to about 6.5 using aqueous NaOH solution. This open‐framework compound is representative for the assembly of discrete lanthanide cubanes into supercubanes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
