Laser emission in 4f-4f transitions of some Nd(III) complexes
The emission spectra of the [(acac)(2)Cr(ox)Nd(HBpz(3))(2)](Cr(ox)Nd) complex corresponding to both the 4f-4f emission of the Nd(III) at room temperature and the E-2 emission of the Cr(III) chromophore at low temperature were observed. Both the complexes [(HBpz(3))(2)Nd(ox)Nd(HBpz(3))(2)] (Nd(ox)Nd) and [Nd-2(mu-pba)(4)(HBpz(3))(2)] exhibit several 4f-4f emission bands in the NIR region.
