Increased antenna effect of the lanthanide complexes by control of a number of terdentate N-donor pyridine ligands

Inorg Chem. 2012 Jul 2;51(13):7013-5. doi: 10.1021/ic300916e. Epub 2012 Jun 19.

Abstract

Three europium complexes with the terdentate N-donor ligand 2,6-bis(1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine (L) have been synthesized, and their crystal structures have been determined. The ligand/metal ratios in these complexes are 3, 2, and 1. The photophysical properties of the complexes indicate more efficient ligand sensitization of europium emission for the homoleptic complex.
