Abstract: 
Benzotriazolates of the rare earth elements form chain like coordination polymers of the formula (1)(infinity)[Ln(Btz)(3)(L)]. An additional neutral ligand L saturates the coordination spheres of the trivalent lanthanide ions and, depending on the reaction conditions, can be a varying donor (L = BtzH, Ph(NH2)(2), NH3 and Py). Reactions in the BtzH (1H-benzotriazole) melt result in coordination of benzotriazole and its thermal decomposition products as L. We have now investigated if the site occupied by L can be exchanged with other N donor ligands. Pyridine can substitute BtzH, Ph(NH2)(2) and NH3 under solvothermal conditions giving the coordination polymer (1)(infinity)[Ln(Btz)(3)(Py)] even for the biggest Ln(III) cation lanthanum without changing the overall strand structure. Chains proof to be the chemically favoured and stable structure fragment with the L position being the chemically variable site.
