Synthetic aspects are discussed. A comprehensive topological analysis of all reported Zn-II/Ln(III) CCs with a core nuclearity of four and above is presented and identifies that families (4-6) and (7-9) are the first examples of the 2,3,4M6-1 motif in Zn-II/Ln(III) chemistry. Magnetic studies are presented for the Dy-II analogues (1, 7, and 10) are presented, 7 demonstrates field -induced slow relaxation of the magnetization. Fluorescence studies are also discussed.15 p.application/pdfeng(c) American Chemical Society , 2017ZincMagnetismeTopologiaMetalls de terres raresZincMagnetismTopologyRare earth metalsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6813932019-02-07info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
