Abstract

Lanthanide-containing hybrid materials have garnered significant interest due to their rich structural diversity and have proven particularly attractive for a wide array of applications including gas storage, heterogeneous catalysis, magnetism, luminescence, and bioanalyses. Herein, we explore both polymeric and molecular lanthanide hybrid materials with a specific focus on both their covalent and noncovalent means of assembly. Challenges remain with these materials regarding control over Ln3+ nuclearity and the resulting secondary building units in hydro/solvothermally synthesized systems and subsequently the delineation of structure/property relationships and manifestations thereof remains ripe for exploration. After a general introduction of lanthanide hybrid materials, this chapter takes a deeper look at the structures and properties of Ln hybrids featuring aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acid linkers, phosphonate linkers, carboxylic acid linkers accompanied by chelating N-donor ligands, and finally molecular lanthanide materials. Where possible, structural trends and common building units are highlighted and in the molecular lanthanide section, a detailed look at assembly via noncovalent interactions (i.e., hydrogen and halogen bonding) is provided. This chapter concludes with a look at where the field of crystalline lanthanide hybrid materials will go next via new synthesis techniques and optimization and enhanced understanding of material properties.
