Hierarchical subcomponent self-assembly of covalent triple-stranded complexes with 3d–4f vertices: luminescence and magnetic properties

Abstract

Well-defined 3d-4f heterometallic supramolecular architectures have aroused attention because of their applications in the field of luminescence and magnetism. However, covalent metallo-supramolecular discrete complexes, decorated by hetero-metallic vertices have never...

Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of octanuclear Ni4Ln4 complexes constructed using a Schiff base ligand and di-2-pyridyl ketone

“…3d–4f mixed metal complexes have attracted considerable interest because they have applications, such as catalysis, 1,2 luminescence, 3,4 molecular magnetism and molecular electronic devices. 5–7 Particularly, single molecule magnets (SMMs) have been heavily exploited due to their potential applications in high-density information storage devices, quantum computers and spintronics.…”
