One Nanoscale Zn(II)-Nd(III) Complex With Schiff Base Ligand: NIR Luminescent Sensing of Anions and Nitro Explosives

One Zn-Nd complex [Zn2Nd4L2(OAc)10(OH)2(CH3OH)2] (1) was synthesized from Schiff base ligand bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)ethylene-1,2-phenylenediamine (H2L). 1 shows nanoscale rectangular structure with sizes of about 0.8 × 1.1 × 2.8 nm. 1 exhibits typical near-infrared luminescence of Nd(III) under t...
