“…The crystal engineering of lanthanide complexes has attracted considerable attention over the past decade, due to not only their fascinating diversity in structure,1–5 but also the potential application as advanced materials, in the fields of absorption, magnetism, luminescence, and so on 6–10. To the best of our knowledge, lanthanide ions have high and variable coordination numbers and flexible coordination environments, which can provide unique impetus for the discovery of unusual network topologies 11–13.…”
