Monitoring the stepwise assembly of a 3-D framework from a supramolecular lanthanoid synthon by in situ infrared spectroscopy.
Construction of a 3-D supramolecular network from [Ln(cpb)(3)(H(2)O)(2)] (Ln = Nd, Tb; Hcpb = 1-(4-cyanophenyl)-1,3-butanedione) by sequential displacement of a coordinated water by DMF, dimerisation by reciprocal hydrogen bonding in solution and pi-pi stacking and interdigitation of nitriles has been monitored by in situ fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
