Key Points

The aim is to synthesize and characterize lanthanide clusters using crown ethers.
Synthesis of lanthanide clusters through one-pot reactions.
Reactants include LnI3, 12-crown-4, and AgBF4 in a 1:2:1 ratio.
Conducted at room temperature.
Successfully synthesized two distinct lanthanide clusters: Ho and Er based.
Both complexes exhibit unique structural features.

Implication

Two lanthanide clusters are synthesized, revealing unique properties that could enhance material science applications.

Abstract

We report two lanthanide clusters [Ln6F13 (12-crown-4)6]I3F2 (Ln=Ho, Er) synthesized through facile one-pot reactions of LnI3, 12-crown-4 and AgBF4 in a 1:2:1 ratio at room temperature. Both complexes represent rare...
