title: Self-assembly between dicarboxylate ions and a binuclear europium complex: formation of stable adducts and heterometallic lanthanide complexes.
abstract: A binuclear lanthanide complex consisting of two lanthanide binding domains linked by a m-xylyl bridging unit forms very stable 1 : 1 adducts with benzene dicarboxylic acids and their derivatives. The complex with isophthalate derivatives is particularly stable.
