Synthesis and Spectroscopic Studies on Azo-Dye Derivatives of Polymetallic Lanthanide Complexes: Using Diazotization to Link Metal Complexes Together
Heteronuclear tetrametallic lanthanide complexes have been synthesized from stable complexes by diazotization and azo-compound formation. Luminescence spectroscopy has been used to show that the complexes used as building blocks are stable under the reaction conditions.
