Cover Feature: One-Step Assembly of Visible and Near-Infrared Emitting Metallacrown Dimers Using a Bifunctional Linker (Chem. Eur. J. 5/2018)
Résumé
GaIII/LnIII metallacrown (MC) complexes with a dimeric structure have been designed, synthesized and characterized. The presence of the bridge in the [LnGa4]2 allows for a broad variety of functionalization with chemical groups of different nature through carboxylate substitution. Moreover, the MC scaffold in [LnGa4]2 is able to efficiently sensitize the characteristic emission of Nd, Pr, Sm, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er and Yb ions in the visible and/or NIR ranges in the solid state. More information can be found in the Communication by S. V. Eliseeva, S. Petoud, V. L Pecoraro et al. on page 1031.
