Abstract

A series of novel lanthanide metal-organic frameworks were synthesized using a ligand featuring three carboxylate groups stationed on a triazinyl central motif. The readily accessible multiple Lewis basic triazinyl N atoms allow for complexation of incoming metal ions. Such interactions have been established quantitatively.
