A distorted low-symmetry EuL tetrahedral cage was fabricated through the self-assembly of europium ions and -symmetric bowl-shaped ligands containing a phosphangulene core. X-ray crystallography confirmed its unique architecture, featuring significant structural distortion and solvent-accessible coordination sites. This cage showcases exceptional luminescence-based sensitivity for formaldehyde detection compared to other analogs, achieving an impressive detection limit of 19.4 ppb.

The phosphides REIr(2)P(2) (RE = La-Nd, Sm) and arsenides REIr(2)As(2) (RE = La-Nd) were synthesized by a ceramic route via precursor compounds REIr(2) with phosphorus and arsenic, respectively. Well-shaped single crystals were obtained from lead and bismuth fluxes, respectively. The nine pnictides crystallize with the tetragonal CaBe(2)Ge(2) type structure, space group P4/nmm.
