Lanthanide Metal-Organic Frameworks

Part of the book series: Structure and Bonding ((STRUCTURE,volume 163))

Abstract

The assembly of the metal clusters to multidimensional metal–organic frameworks remains one of the most attractive research frontiers due to its attractive architectures and excellent properties. Compared with transition metals, the cluster chemistry of lanthanide ions is less developed. The chapter mainly highlights recent research progress on the synthetic strategy, structures, and properties of metal–organic frameworks based on lanthanide clusters. Varying from di- to octatetraconta-nuclei, lanthanide clusters can act as versatile nodes to construct different fascinating topological networks by the linkage of the ligands. The cluster formations and the topologies of these compounds as well as the influence factors on them are described in detail. Potential applications in a variety of fields, especially in luminescence, magnetism, and catalysis, are shown in these materials.
