A novel 2-D coordination polymer constructed from high-nuclearity waist drum-like pure Ho48 clusters.

A novel 2-D coordination polymer constructed from high nuclearity nanosized Ho48 clusters was synthesised and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray analysis. The Ho48 cluster core with a charming waist drum-like structure was templated by CO32− ions, and bridged by Ho–N bonds to get a 2-D coordination polymer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
