Abstract

With the Zn-Schiff-base [ZnL(Py)] from the pure Salen-type Schiff-base ligand H₂L (H₂L = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylene-1, 2-diamine) as the precursor, a series of hetero-trinuclear Zn₂Ln complexes [Zn₂Ln(L)₂(NO₃)₂(SCN)(Py) ₂] (Ln = Nd, 1; Ln = Yb, 2; Ln = Er, 3 and Ln = Gd, 4) are obtained by the further reaction with Ln(NO₃)₃•6H₂O and KSCN on the condition of stoichiometry control, respectively. The influence of molecular structures on the photophysical properties shows their NIR luminescent properties are hypersensitive to the composition and symmetry of the coordination environments of Ln³⁺ ions bonded with the mixed anions, which provides a wide variety of means to modulate the NIR luminescence of Ln³⁺ complexes.
