A heterometallic complex {[Yb2(L)6Cd2][Cd(H2O)6]·6H2O}n (Yb–Cd) (H2L = oxidiacetic acid) was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. In Yb–Cd, each L chelates to one Yb3+ center and bonds to two ...

Understanding the alkaline stability of quaternary ammonium (QA) cations tethered to polymer backbones in anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) is crucial to advance the long-term performance of ...
