Composed in the f-block: solution structure and function of kinetically inert lanthanide(<scp>iii</scp>) complexes

Abstract

H NMR and luminescence spectra. The information rich ligand- and metal centred emission spectra will be discussed, and the time-resolved luminescence decay lifetimes are shown to be directly related to the solution structure. The aim is to provide the reader with the information needed to become excited by lanthanide coordination chemistry.
