Lanthanide 8-hydroxyquinoline-based podates with efficient emission in the NIR range.
The novel hydroxyquinoline-containing tetrapodal ligand forms water soluble and stable chelates and is a good sensitizer of the NIR luminescence of its Nd(III) and Yb(III) complexes; its easy synthesis opens the way for potential biomedical applications.
