The synthesis of high-nuclearity pure lanthanide clusters continues to be a challenge because of the lanthanide ions have variable and high coordination numbers as well as poor directionality.
Clusters have been fascinating scientists by their structural beauty and versatile functions,such that design of metal clusters with potential applications such as luminescence and bio-activity,[1] ca
Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)were new family of microporous materials with high specific surface area and a highly ordered pore structure,and their channel size and shape are easily adjusted [1].
