(a) Formation of MSP networks [Eu(BKB)1.5](ClO4)3. Reversible dissociation reaction of Eu3+ligand complexes in [Eu(BKB)1.5](ClO4)3 upon ultrasonication to the MSP illustrated in (b); irreversible metal exchange with Fe2+ ions in films of [Eu(BKB)1.5](ClO4)3 by (ii) ultrasonication, or (iii) puncture application. (c) Dipicolinic acid (dpa) ligands deprotonated bind strongly to Eu3+, and the metallosupramolecular networks with the formula [Eu(DKD)1.5](NHEt3)3. Reprinted with permission from ref. [104].
