Recent Advances of Lanthanide-transition Heterometallic Coordination Polymers

With the improvement of high-tech and emergence of crossing and new fields,lanthanide-transition(Ln–M) heterometallic coordination polymers have attracted much attention of many researchers,which exhibit novel structures and unique properties with potential applications in the nonlinear optical materials,fluorescent materials,superconducting materials,magnetic materials,catalysis,bio-simulation,adsorption and separation,and so on.It is thus necessary to summarize Ln–M heterometallic coordination polymers.According to the transition metal ions,those coordination polymers are divided into six parts to explore the current applications and future developments.
