Abstract

With the Zn-Schiff-base [ZnL(Py)] from the simple Salen-type Schiff-base ligand H₂L (H₂L = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)ethylene-1,2-diamine) as the precursor, two co-crystallized heterometallic (Zn₂Ln and ZnLn array) complexes [Zn₂Ln(L)₂(Py)₂(NO₃)₂]·[ZnLn(L)(Py)(NO₃)₃(H₂O)]·NO₃·mMeOH·nS (Ln = Er(1), S = CH₃CN, m = 2, n = 1 or Gd(2), S = H₂O, m = 1, n = 3) were obtained by the further reaction with Ln(NO₃)₃·6H₂O, respectively. The result of their photophysical properties shows the intramolecular effective energy transfer has been demonstrated in the Zn₂Er and ZnEr arrayed complex 1, and the co-existence of different chromophores should be a potentially new way to the fine-tuning properties of NIR luminescence from Er³⁺ ions.
