Syntheses and properties of two types of linear tetranuclear heterometallic clusters with identical formulas but different structures

Synthesis, structure, photoluminescence and magnetism of a series of cobalt‐lanthanide heterometallic complexes originated from 2,3‐dichlorobenzoate and 1,10‐phenanthroline

“…[23] Based on such a method, we prepared some 3d-4f heterometallic complexes and studied their photoluminescent and magnetic properties. [24] As a continuous interest, in this work, 2,3-dichlorobenzoic acid (2,3-HDCB) was chosen as the main ligand and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) as the co-ligand to construct a series of Co(II)-Ln(III) heterometallic complexes [Ln 2 Co 2 (2,3-DCB) 10 (phen) 2 ] [Ln=Nd (1), Sm (2), Eu (3), Gd (4), Tb (5), Dy (6), Er (7)]. Their photoluminescent and magnetic properties were also investigated.…”

Structure and assembly mechanism of a centipede-shaped high-nuclear Dy14Cu12heterometallic nanocluster

“…However, high-nuclear Cu(II)-Dy(III) clusters were rarely reported. It is well known that the reported 4f and 3d-4f high-nuclear clusters present versatile aesthetic structures such as cage, 25,26 ring, 27,28 linear, [29][30][31][32] prism, [33][34][35] pancake, [36][37][38] dumbbell [39][40][41][42] and sphere motifs. [43][44][45] However, 3d-4f high-nuclear clusters with sheetlike skeletons are difficult to form probably due to the limitations from stability.…”
