Tuning dimensionality between 2D and 1D MOFs by lanthanide contraction and ligand-to-metal ratio

Abstract

2D/1D dimensionality tuning in LnMOFs is related to both (i) ligand-to-metal ratio and (ii) lanthanide contraction, this is only possible with Er/Tm, lighter lanthanides <italic>e.g.</italic> Pr only produced 2D MOFs, despite different ligand-to-metal ratios were used.
