Synthesis and photophysical and magnetic studies of ternary lanthanide(<scp>iii</scp>) complexes of naphthyl chromophore functionalized imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline and dibenzoylmethane

Abstract

The synthesis of ternary Eu(<sc>iii</sc>) and Tb(<sc>iii</sc>) complexes of dibenzoylmethane and naphthyl- and hydroxynaphthyl functionalized imidazo[4,5-<italic>f</italic>][1,10]phenanthroline as ancillary ligands and their luminescence and magnetic properties are reported in this work.
