Fluorescent naphthalene diols as bridging ligands in Ln(III) cluster chemistry: synthetic, structural, magnetic, and photophysical characterization of Ln(III)8 "Christmas stars".
The initial employment of the fluorescent bridging ligand naphthalene-2,3-diol in 4f-metal coordination chemistry has provided access to a new family of Ln(III)8 clusters with a "Christmas-star" topology, single-molecule magnetism behavior, and ligand-centered emissions.
