Abstract A series of heterotrimetallic manganese-lanthanide-sodium dimer metallacrowns has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis: {LnNa[12-MCMn(III)N(shi)-4]}2(iph)4, where L ­ nIII = La (1), Ce (2), Pr (3), Nd (4), Sm (5), Eu (6), Gd (7), Tb (8), Dy (9), Ho (10), Er (11), Tm (12), Yb (13), Lu (14), and Y (15); MC is metallacrown; ­shi3− is salicylhydroximate; and ­iph2− is isophthalate. The manganese(III) ions and ­shi3− ligands generate the 12-MC-4 framework with one ­LnIII and ­Na+ ion bound to each [12-MCMn(III)N(shi)-4] on opposite sides of the central MC cavity. The carboxylate groups of the isophthalate ligands bridge between the central L ­ nIII ion and each ring M ­ nIII ion, and the meta-arrangement of the carboxylate groups joins two LnNa[12-MCMn(III)N(shi)-4] units together to form the dimer through the ­LnIII ions, which reside on the interior of the molecule. The identity of the central L ­ nIII ion slightly impacts the size the [12-MCMn(III)N(shi)-4] III framework. As the crystal radius of the L ­ n ion increases from L ­ uIII (1.02 Å) to L ­ aIII (1.19 Å), the 12-MC-4 framework III expands to accommodate the larger ­Ln ion as the MC cavity increases in size (0.53 Å for ­LuIII to 0.58 Å for ­LaIII) and the average cross cavity ­MnIII-MnIII and oxime oxygen-oxime oxygen distances also increase ­(MnIII-MnIII distances: 6.48 Å for ­LuIII to 6.52 Å for ­LaIII; ­Ooxime-Ooxime distances: 3.66 Å for ­LuIII to 3.75 Å for ­LaIII). In addition, the larger ­LnIII ions reside further from the MC cavity as indicated by the L ­ nIII-oxime oxygen mean plane (­ OoxMP) distance. The L ­ nIII-OoxMP distance III III steadily decreases from ­La (1.7527(12) Å) to ­Lu (1.5575(15) Å).

Introduction The typical metallacrown (MC) macrocyclic structure consists of a transition metal-nitrogen–oxygen ring repeat unit that generates a central cavity that is capable of binding a central metal ion, analogous to a crown ether [1]. Initially MCs were homometallic systems with the same metal ions in both the ring and central metal sites [2, 3]; however, heterobimetallic metallacrowns were quickly developed in the early 1990s [1, 4]. Yet it was not until 2014 that the firs
