Flexible Zigzag Lanthanide Mesh Frameworks for One-Dimensional Thiophene Crystallization and Oligomerization.

One-dimensional (1D) thiophene (Th) crystals are important noncovalent motifs for pre-organized polymerization of Th to produce conducting polythiophene. However, successful 1D Th alignment is difficult. To date, template-directed 1D Th alignment has been achieved through strong host-guest interactions, but this result...
