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.
