Description
Tiny gaps in metal ion size steer crystal design in a 2026 study headed by Kenika Khotchasanthong on lanthanide coordination polymers. The research article makes ten compounds from lanthanide chlorides and chloranilic acid, forming two-dimensional layered networks whose patterns depend on which lanthanide is used.
Larger early lanthanides produced a honeycomb network, while smaller later ones formed a brick-wall pattern, a direct effect of lanthanide contraction. Adding a bridging molecule to the brick-wall form created a pillared, guest-filled three-dimensional layout in two cases. The ytterbium brick-wall material also captured more carbon dioxide than the honeycomb form, linking ion size to gas storage performance.
