Fluorescent Naphthalene Diols as Bridging Ligands in Ln(III) Cluster Chemistry: Synthetic, Structural, Magnetic, and Photophysical Characterization of Ln(8)(III) "Christmas Stars"
The initial employment of the fluorescent bridging ligand naphthalene-2,3-diol in 4f-metal coordination chemistry has provided access to a new family of Ln(8)(III) clusters with a "Christmas-star" topology, single-molecule magnetism behavior, and ligand-centered emissions.
