Novel Five-Connected Lanthanide(III)−Bis(sulfinyl) Coordination Polymers Forming a Unique Two-Dimensional ( , 5) Network

Unique and unprecedented five-connected lanthanide−bis(sulfinyl) coordination polymers forming an unusual two-dimensional ( , 5) network consisting of 21- and 28-membered macrometallacyclic structural units constructed from a structurally flexible bis(sulfinyl) ligand, meso-1,2-bis(n-propylsulfinyl)ethane (L), and LnIII(NCS)3 (Ln = Nd and Yb) have been reported.
