Abstract

Unique homoleptic cyclic tetranuclear Ln₄(Salen)₄ complexes [Ln₄(L)₂(HL)₂(μ₃-OH) ₂Cl₂]·2Cl (Ln = Nd, 1; Ln = Yb, 2; Ln = Er, 3; Ln = Gd, 4) or Ln₄(Salen)₂ complexes [Ln₄(L) ₂(μ₃-OH)₂(OAc)₆] (Ln = Nd, 5; Ln = Yb, 6; Ln = Er, 7; Ln = Gd, 8) have been self-assembled from the reaction of the hexadentate Salen-type Schiff-base ligand H₂L with LnCl ₃·6H₂O or Ln(OAc)₆·6H ₂O (Ln = Nd, Yb, Er, or Gd), respectively (H₂L: N,N′-bis(salicylidene)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine). The result of their photophysical properties shows that the strong and characteristic NIR luminescence for complexes 1-2 and 5-6 with emissive lifetimes in microsecond ranges are observed, and the sensitization arises from the excited state (both ¹LC and ³LC) of the hexadentate Salen-type Schiff-base ligand with the flexible linker. Temperature dependence (1.8-300 K) magnetic susceptibility studies of the eight complexes suggest the presence of an antiferromagnetic interaction between the Ln³⁺ ions.
