Thiophenyl Anilato-Based NIR-Emitting Lanthanide (Ln^III = Er, Yb) Dinuclear Complexes.

ABSTRACT: By combining Er^III and Yb^III ions with 3,6-dithiophene-anilate (Th₂An) and scorpionate hydrotris(pyrazol-1-yl)borate (HBpz₃^-) ligands new luminescent dinuclear complexes are obtained. The two materials formulated as [((HB(pz)₃)₂Yb)₂(μ-th₂An)]·4DCM·1.3H₂O 1Yb and [((HB(pz)₃)₂Er)₂(μ-th₂An)]·4DCM·1.8H₂O 1Er, respectively, have been structurally characterized by SC-XRD and PXRD studies. This study presents a comprehensive investigation of the photophysical properties of the Th₂An ligand for the first time. Our findings reveal the crucial role of the thiophene anilate as an effective optical antenna, which s
