A flexible tripodal ligand linking octametallic terbium rings into luminescent polymeric chains.
Six bidentate building blocks have been used to form a tripodal ligand with a flexible C3 symmetric spacer to direct the assembly of large octametallic clusters covalently linked to form a 1-D highly luminescent terbium tube-like polymer.
