title: Intramolecular energy transfer in a one-dimensional europium tetracyanoplatinate.
abstract: The one-dimensional, polymeric compound (C15H11N3)Eu(H2O)2(NO3)(Pt(CN)4).CH3CN (1) has been shown to display an efficient donor-acceptor intramolecular energy-transfer (IET) process where ligand donors transfer energy to the Eu (III) acceptor. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction has been used to investigate the structural features of this compound in order to help understand the observed IET process. Crystallographic data: 1, monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, a = 12.835(1) A, b = 15.239(1) A, c = 13.751(2) A, beta = 105.594(9) degrees , V = 2590.8(5) A(3), and Z = 4 (T = 290 K).
