Synthesis of macrocyclic salen rare-earth complexes and their framework conversion regulated by coordination sphere engineering
Yi-Fu Liu, Guzmán Gil‐Ramírez, Takashi Nakamura
Abstract
We now report a macrocyclic rare-earth complex whose frameworks have been regulated between a trimer and a tetramer by an external capping ligand. Coordination sphere engineering of the rare earth metals with flexible and variable coordination numbers (CN > 6) offers a unique way to control the self-assembled structures.
