Structures à la carte : The combination of lone pairs and halide ions yields a praseodymium antimony oxohalide nanocluster [Pr 4 Sb 12 O 18 Cl 17 ] 5− with nearly perfect T d symmetry. Inorganic–organic hybrid compounds with 1D chain structure and 2D wave layer structure were assembled using dicarboxylic ligands with angular or linear geometry to interconnect the nanoclusters as secondary building units (see picture; purple Pr, red O, blue Sb, green Cl).
