Construction of lanthanide heterometallic complex is important for engineering multifunction molecular containers. However, it remains a challenge because of the similar ionic radii of lanthanides. Herein we attempt to prepare chiral lanthanide heterometallic tetrahedra. Upon crystallization with a mixture of [Eu<sub>2</sub> L<sub>3</sub> ] and [Ln<sub>2</sub> L<sub>3</sub> ] (Ln=Gd, Tb and Dy) helicates, a mixture of heterometallic Eu<sub>n</sub> Ln'<sub>4-n</sub> (L<sub>6</sub> ) (n=0-4) tetra ...[more]
