title: Dinuclear lanthanide(III) complexes by metal-ion-assisted hydration of di-2-pyridyl ketone azine.
abstract: The initial employment of di-2-pyridyl ketone azine in 4f metal chemistry has led to a unique ligand transformation; the resulting anionic ligand is able to bridge two Ln(III) ions, affording neutral and cationic dinuclear complexes with interesting properties.
