title: A luminescent linear trinuclear magnesium complex assembled from a phosphorus-based tris-hydrazone ligand.
abstract: A novel linear trinuclear magnesium complex (P(S)[N(CH3)N=CHC6H4-o-O]3)2Mg3 was prepared by the reaction of P(S)[N(CH3))N=CHC6H4-o-OH]3 with MgCl2 x 6H2O in the presence of triethylamine. The trinuclear magnesium complex is fluorescent in solution as well as in the solid-state.
