Temperature-dependent self-assembly of near-infrared (NIR) luminescent Zn2Ln and Zn2Ln3 (Ln=Nd, Yb or Er) complexes from the flexible Salen-type Schiff-base ligand

Dinucleating Schiff base ligand in Zn/4f coordination chemistry: synthetic challenges and catalytic activity evaluation

Synthetic challenges and catalytic activity evaluation of Zn/(Dy,Y) coordination clusters derived from a dinucleating Schiff base ligand.

Nine self-assembled nickel(ii)–lanthanide(iii) heterometallic complexes constructed from a Salamo-type bisoxime and bearing a N- or O-donor auxiliary ligand: syntheses, structures and magnetic properties

Nine Ni(ii)–Ln(iii) complexes were prepared using 3-MeOsalamo and structurally characterized, and their magnetic properties were studied.

Synthesis, characterization and luminescent properties of lanthanide complexes with a novel multipodal ligand

Solid complexes of lanthanide nitrates with an novel multipodal ligand, 1,2,4,5-tetramethyl-3,6-bis{N,N-bis[((2'-furfurylaminoformyl)phenoxyl)ethyl]-aminomethyl}-benzene (L) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra and molar conductivity measurements. At the same time, the luminescent properties of the Sm(III), Eu(III), Tb(III) and Dy(III) nitrate complexes in solid state were investigated. Under the excitation of UV light, these complexes exhibited characteristic emission of central metal ions. The lowest triplet state energy level of the ligand indicates that the triplet state energy level (T1) of the ligand matches better the resonance level of Tb(III) than other lanthanide ions.
