title: Anion dependent self-assembly of a linear hexanuclear Yb(III) salen complex with enhanced near-infrared (NIR) luminescence properties.
abstract: Reactions of H2salen (H2L, N,N'-ethylene bis(salicylideneimine)) with Yb(CF3SO3)3, Yb(OAc)34H2O and Yb(NO3)36H2O in MeOH–EtOH under reflux gave NIR luminescent complexes [Yb6L9(H2L)2] (1), [Yb3L3(HL)(OH)2] (2) and [Yb2L2(H2L)2(NO3)(MeOH)2]NO3 (3), respectively.
