Three lanthanide–transition-metal coordination polymers, namely, [Er2L6(H2O)][Cu2I2] (1), [ErL3][CuI] (2), and [Dy2L6(BPDC)0.5(H2O)4][Cu3I2] (3) (HL=4-pyridin-3-yl-benzoic acid, H2BPDC=4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid) have been made by reacting Ln2O3 CuI with HL at different temperatures under hydrothermal conditions. All the complexes are characterized elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, therm...

Layered metal-organic frameworks and nanosheets have been regarded as an important series of low-dimensional materials. Their flexible designability intrinsic porosity allow layered to be differentiated from inorganic counterparts. The present review article is devoted collecting pieces research aiming at exploiting innovative nanomaterials. Spearheaded by introductory part Section 1, the inclu...
