Energy exchange between Nd³⁺ and Er³⁺ centers within molecular complexes.

ABSTRACT: Developing controlled and reproducible molecular assemblies incorporating lanthanide centers is a crucial step for driving forward up- and down-conversion processes. This challenge calls for the development of strategies to facilitate the efficient in situ segregation of different Ln metal ions into distinct positions within the molecule. The unique family of pure [LnLn'Ln] heterometallic coordination compounds previously developed by us represents an ideal platform for studying the desired Ln-to-Ln' energy transfer (ET). In this context, we report here the new pure one-step synthetically produced [ErNdEr] (3) complex, which allows for the first time at the molecular level to study the mechanisms behind Nd-to-Er energy transfer. To further assess the photophysical properties of this
