Anion-Dependent Self-Assembly of Near-Infrared Luminescent 24-and 32-Metal Cd-Ln Complexes with Drum-like Architectures
Two series of 4d-4f clusters [Ln(8)Cd(24)L(12)-(OAc)(48)] and [Ln(6)Cd(18)L(9)Cl(8(10))(OAc)(28(26))] (Ln = Nd, Gd, Er, and Yb) with novel drum-like structures were prepared using a flexible Schiff base ligand. Their NIR luminescence properties were determined.
