“…Recently, the strategy of introducing heterometallics was adopted to tune the properties of these materials. 11 Till now, to our knowledge, the following types of second metals were introduced into iodoplumbates: a. alkali (Na) or alkali earth (Mg) metal; 15,16 b. transition metal complexes with chelating ligands, that is, [M(L) x ] n+ (M= * For correspondence Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ru; L= ethylenediamine, phenanthroline, bipyridine, terpyridine; x =2, 3; n =2, 3); [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] c. rare earth metal organic complexes, [Ln(L) x ] 3+ (Ln =Y, Tb, Nd; L=DMF and/or DMSO; x =7, 8). [27][28][29][30] In these systems, most of the second metal exists as counter cations, but the literature on compounds whose second metal is covalently linked to iodoplumbates is still in its infancy.…”
