S. Bruck et al., Synthesis, structure and optical characteristics of pyridyl substituted diketonates of lanthanoids, INORG CH C, 3(11), 2000, pp. 666-670
Lanthanoid complexes of a dipyridylsubstituted beta -diketonate ligand have
been prepared and their structure and optical characteristics have been ex
plored. The structure of these complexes are ten-coordinate centrosymmetric
dimers with quaddruply bridging diketonate ligands, terminal diketonate li
gands and 'dangling' and bound pyridyl nitrogen atoms. The europium complex
diplays strongly luminescent properties while the terbium analogue is comp
letely quenched. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
