Helicate-to-tetrahedron transformation of chiral lanthanide supramolecular complexes induced by ionic radii effect and linker length
Lanthanide-based supramolecular complexes have labile and hard-topredict chemical structures. Here the authors show controlled formation of either helicates or tetrahedron shaped cages based on the interplay between the metal ionic radius and the ligand composition.
