The usage of the achiral ligand, in lanthanide chemistry, successfully obtained two series of chiral lanthanide complexes, formulated dand l-{Gd[IN][HIN][CH 2 OCH 2 O]} n (abbreviated as Gd) and dand l-{Dy[IN][HIN][CH 2 OCH 2 O]} n (abbreviated as Dy, HIN = isonicotinic acid). Crystallographic researches determined that four compounds are all one-dimensional (1D) chain structures and crystallized in a chiral space group. In addition, CH 2 OHCH 2 OH acts as
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.
