[CdCl4]~(2-) anion-induced coordination of Ln3+ to cucurbit[8]uril and the formation of supramolecular self-assemblies: potential application in isolation of light lanthanides

摘要

The coordination and supramolecular assemblies of Q[8] with lanthanides in the presence of [CdCl4]~(2-) anions show significant differences, which could be used for the isolation of light lanthanides from their heavier counterparts.
