A novel 2-D coordination polymer constructed from high-nuclearity waist drum-like pure Ho48 clusters

A novel 2-D coordination polymer constructed from high nuclearity nanosized Ho-48 clusters was synthesised and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray analysis. The Ho-48 cluster core with a charming waist drum-like structure was templated by CO32- ions, and bridged by Ho-N bonds to get a 2-D coordination polymer.
