Chemical engineering of quasicrystal approximants in lanthanide-based coordination solids

Tessellation of self-assembling molecular building blocks is attractive for accessing metal-organic materials with geometric frustration, however such motifs are rare. Here the authors use ytterbium(II) as a five-vertex node to assemble an Archimedean tessellation in a bulk, molecule-based material.
