Ternary Eu(<scp>iii</scp>) and Tb(<scp>iii</scp>) β-diketonate complexes containing chalcones: photophysical studies and biological outlook

Abstract

Ternary Eu(<sc>iii</sc>) and Tb(<sc>iii</sc>) β-diketonate complexes containing chalcones were studied for their structures, photophysical properties, interactions with DNA and serum protein, and photo-induced DNA cleavage activity.
