Triply phenoxo bridged Eu(<scp>iii</scp>) and Sm(<scp>iii</scp>) complexes with 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol-di(benzoylhydrazone): structure, spectra and biological study in human cell lines

Abstract

Two dinuclear lanthanide(<sc>iii</sc>) complexes, [M₂(HL)₃] (M = Sm(<sc>iii</sc>) (<bold>1</bold>), Eu(<sc>iii</sc>) (<bold>2</bold>); H₃L, 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol-di(benzoylhydrazone)) were generated with good yield and characterised systematically.
