	abstract = {<p>{V-shaped ligands are commonly used for helical coordination polymer synthesis. However, employment of multiple V-shaped ligands does not always lead to a helical network. The mutual interplay of two V-shaped ligands, which is neither easily predictable nor well documented, plays a major role directing the self-assembly of the resultant network. We report here the construction of a series of novel coordination polymers {[Ni(OBA)(H2MDP)(H2O)]center dot(DMF)(3)}(n) (1),{[Ni(FBA)(H2MDP)]center dot(H2O)(3)center dot(DMF)\</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Employment of two different pyridyl pyrazolyl-based ligands afforded three octanudear lanthanide(III) (Ln = Dy, Tb) cage compounds and one hexanudear neodymium(III) coordination cage, exhibiting versatile molecular architectures including a butterfly core. Relatively less common semirigid pyridyl pyrazolyl-based asymmetric ligand systems show an interesting trend of forming polynuclear lanthanide cage complexes with different coordination environments around the metal centers. It is noteworthy here that construction of lanthanide complex itself is a challenging task in a ligand system as soft N-donor rich as pyridyl pyrazol. We report herein some lanthanide complexes using ligand containing only one or two O-donors compare to five N-coordinating sites. The resultant multinuclear lanthanide complexes show interesting magnetic and spectroscopic features originating from different spatial arrangements of the metal ions. Alternating current (ac) susceptibility measurements of the two dysprosium complexes display frequency- and temperature-dependent out-of-phase signals in zero and 0.5 T direct current field, a typical characteristic feature of single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior, indicating different energy reversal barriers due to different molecular topologies. Another aspect of this work is the occurrence of the not-so-common SMM behavior of the terbium complex, further confirmed by ac susceptibility measurement.</p>},
