Dinuclear lanthanide(iii)/zinc(ii) complexes with methyl 2-pyridyl ketone oxime†
Abstract
The first use of methyl 2-pyridyl ketone oxime (mpkoH) in zinc(II)/lanthanide(III) chemistry leads to the [ZnLn(mpko)3(mpkoH)3](ClO4)2 and [ZnLn(NO3)2(mpko)3(mpkoH)] families of dinuclear ZnIILnIII complexes displaying blue-green, ligand-based photoluminescence; the ZnIIDyIII compound shows field-induced relaxation of magnetization.
