“…Many lanthanide carboxylate complexes have been reported, such as binary carboxylate complexes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], ternary and quaternary carboxylate mixed-ligand complexes containing 4,4 0 -bipyridine(4,4 0 -bpy), 2,2 0 -bipyridine (2,2 0 -bpy), and 1,10-phenanthroline(phen) [4,5,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14], exhibiting diverse structural types. A large number of lanthanide carboxylate complexes have been found to be polymeric or dimeric due to variation of the coordination modes of the carboxylate group.…”
