Well-defined 3d–4f heterometallic supramolecular architectures have attracted attention because of their applications in the field of luminescence and magnetism. However, covalent metallo-supramolecular discrete complexes, decorated with hetero-metallic vertices, have never been reported because of the difficulties in design and control. Herein, we report a series of covalent metallo-supramolecular discrete complexes with 3d–4f vertices synthesized by hierarchical subcomponent self-assembly of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, 2,6-diformyl-p-cresol, and lanthanide ions (Ln) with different amines and transition metal ions. The programmable self-assembly process results in the formation of triple-stranded hetero-metallic covalent organic discrete complexes, namely 3a–3c-(Ln, Zn) (Ln = Sm^III, Eu^III, Dy^III, Yb^III and Lu^III) and 3a′-(Dy, Co), which are characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis, electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF-MS), and single-crystal X-ray analysis. Photophysical investigations disclose that the organic skeleton of 3a-(Ln, Zn) exhibits an excellent sensitizing ability toward Sm^III, Eu^III, and Yb^III ions, displaying characteristic luminescence emission in both the visible and near-infrared (NIR) regions. AC susceptibility measurements of 3a′-(Dy, Co) reveal the frequency-independent performance under zero dc field, suggesting the absence of slow relaxation of magnetization. This work offers a new approach for the fabrication of discrete metallic covalent architectures with 3d–4f vertices.
