Two types of Cd–Ln nanoclusters were constructed using a long-chain Schiff base ligand, and the 32-metal Cd–Sm cluster shows interesting luminescent sensing of metal cations.
Two types of Zn–Ln nanoclusters (Ln = Nd and Sm) were constructed using one long Schiff base ligand with a naphthyl backbone, and the 12-metal Zn–Sm cluster shows interesting visible and NIR luminescence sensing of nitro explosives with high sensitivity to 1,4-DNB and TNT at the ppb level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
