title: Lanthanide-transition heterometallic extended structures with novel orthogonal metalloligand as building block.
abstract: One-dimensional lanthanide-transition heterometallic chains of squares, [LnNi(2)L(3)(HL)(DMF)(4)(ClO(4))(4).S]( infinity ) (Ln = Gd and Tb; HL is the Schiff base obtained by the condensation of 2-pyridylaldehyde with isonicotinic hydrazide N-oxide; S = solvent) and [LnNi(2)L(4)(DMF)(4)(ClO(4))(3).S]( infinity ) (Ln = Dy; S = solvent), were synthesized by self-assembly between well-designed orthogonal metalloligands [Ni(HL)L](+) and the Ln(III) ions, which act as the bridging units and nodes, respectively.
