Promotion of a synthon of choice for the non‐covalent assembly of lanthanide tectons represents both a noteworthy challenge and opportunity within Ln III hybrid materials. We have developed a system, wherein some control can be exercised over supramolecular assembly and, as part of continued efforts to improve this process we have generated a family of ten new lanthanide ( Ln = Sm 3+ – Lu 3+ ) 2,4,6‐trichlorobenzoic acid‐1,10‐phenanthroline molecular complexes. Delineation of criteria for promoting assembly via halogen based interactions was introduced previously and is refined herein based on the characterization of complexes 1 – 10 via single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Direct comparison of means of supramolecular assembly for 1 – 10 with isostructural Ln ‐ p ‐chlorobenzoic acid‐1,10‐phenanthroline analogues verifies that increasing the number of halogen atoms at the periphery of a tecton is one route that increases the frequency of halogen bonding interactions. Additionally, solid‐state visible and near‐IR photoluminescence and luminescent lifetime data were collected for complexes 1 (Sm 3+ ), 2 (Eu 3+ ), 4 (Tb 3+ ), 5 (Dy 3+ ), 6 (Ho 3+ ), 7 (Er 3+ ), and 9 (Yb 3+ ) and characteristic emission was observed for all complexes except 6 . Further, direct current magnetic susceptibility measurements were carried out for complexes 5 (Dy 3+ ) and 7 (Er 3+ ), and two slow magnetic relaxation processes were characterized using alternating current magnetic susceptibility measurements for 5 .
