A heterometallic Tb-Pt complex, [Tb Pt (SAc) (H O) ] (SAc=thioacetate), was synthesized. Dual emission was modulated by the presence of a heterometallic Tb-Pt bonding environment. The heterometallic Tb-Pt bond lowers the symmetry of the Tb ion and enhanced the emission efficiency. In addition, the Tb-Pt complex shows field-induced multiple magnetic relaxation pathways. Furthermore, it served as an antenna for the observed dual emission. In other words, the heterometallic Tb-Pt bond has a significant effect on the luminescence and magnetic properties of the complex.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
