Two {Co 3+ –Eu 3+ } and {Co 3+ –Tb 3+ } heterodimetallic coordination polymers have been synthesized by using a Co 3+ ‐based coordination complex as the building block. Structural studies show that the lanthanide atoms are coordinated to the cobalt complex through O amide groups. This results in the generation of a one‐dimensional zigzag coordination polymer. These coordination polymers have been shown to catalyze the ring‐opening reactions of the epoxides with anilines and alcohols under heterogeneous and solvent‐free conditions. Interestingly, a perfect regioselectivity was observed in the aminolysis and alcoholysis reaction of styrene oxide.
