By utilizing different coordination properties of a lanthanide ion and a transition metal ion, a heterometallo-supramolecular polymer with Eu(III) and Fe(II) ions introduced alternately (polyEuFe) was precisely prepared via stepwise complexation of the metal ions to a new unsymmetrical ligand with both a dicarboxylate-substituted terpyridine and an unsubstituted terpyridine. The polymer showed ...

Treatment of K[N(SiMe3)2] with N,N′-bis(2,6-difluorophenyl)formamidine (DFFormH) in toluene, resulted in the formation of [K(DFForm)]∞ (1) as a poorly soluble material. Upon dissolution in thf and layering with n-hexane, 1 was crystallised and identified as a two-dimensional polymer, in which all fluorine and nitrogen atoms, and also part of one aryl group, bridge between four symmetry equivale...

A series of lanthanide-based coordination polymer molecular alloy colloidal dispersions usable for ink-jet printing and tagging technical liquids.

The formation of discrete complexes [M(mcoe)2S2] (M = Cu, Ni; S = MeOH, H2O) vs. a nitroso-bridged ferromagnetically-coupled Cu(II) coordination polymer [Cu(mcoe)2] is influenced by the use of solvothermal reaction conditions.
