The lanthanide elements have been applied to many profitable innovations in medicine and technology. Of our particular interest are explorations into the coordination chemistry of hard lanthanide cations with soft ligands, which have the potential to lead to new and innovative discoveries. The soft ligand employed in this study is thiosulfate (S2O32-), which is an effective metal complexing agent that has industrial and medical applications. To increase the complexity and usefulness of the material, we have incorporated an organic N-donor ligand, as thiosulfate-based inorganic-organic frameworks have been shown to be effective catalysts. Herein, we discuss the syntheses and structural characterizations of two new series of templated lanthanide thiosulfate compounds synthesized at room temperature.
