Discriminating between lanthanide ions: self-assembly of heterodimetallic triple-stranded helicates

Chem Commun (Camb). 2002 Feb 7:(3):214-5. doi: 10.1039/b109065h.

Abstract

A bis-terdentate segmental ligand has been designed which self-assembles with lanthanide ions of different size to yield heterodimetallic triple-stranded helicates.
