title: Lanthanide-transition metal coordination polymers based on multiple N- and O-donor ligands.
abstract: Lanthanide-transition metal (Ln-M) coordination polymers have attracted extensive interest because they exhibit novel physical properties originating from the interactions between distinct metal ions. This review mainly describes our recent work in the design of Ln-M coordination polymers through the assembly of different metal ions and organic ligands, especially the ligands with multiple N- and O-donor atoms. Many of these crystalline Ln-M materials exhibit intriguing structural motifs and interesting magnetic properties.
