title: Near-IR luminescent neodymium complexes: spectroscopic probes for hydroamination catalysis.
abstract: Neodymium complexes bearing the sensitising bis(oxazolinylphenyl)amine (BOPA) ligands have been prepared, and analysed spectroscopically under both catalytic and pseudo-catalytic conditions with respect to the intramolecular hydroamination of an aminoalkene, providing a direct means of monitoring binding events and relative space around the metal centre.
