Two chiral Eu^III and Sm^III enantiomeric pairs with enantiopure N-donor ligands: showing strong third-harmonic generation and photoluminescence properties

Abstract

Reacting the precursors Eu(dbm)3(H2O) and Sm(dbm)3(H2O) with enantiopure monobidentate N-donor ligands (LR/LS), respectively, afforded two chiral EuIII and SmIII enantiomeric pairs, namely Ln(dbm)3(LR)/Ln(dbm)3(LS) (Ln = EuIII, D-1/L-1 and Ln =...
