Anion dependent self-assembly of 56-metal Cd–Ln nanoclusters with enhanced near-infrared luminescence properties

Abstract

Two series of Cd–Ln clusters: nano-drum [Ln8Cd24L12(OAc)48] and nano-double-drum [Ln12Cd44L20Cl30(OAc)54] (Ln = Nd and Yb) were prepared using a flexible Schiff base ligand bearing two aryl-Br groups. Chloride (Cl) ions, together with the interactions of Br with other electronegative atoms, play a key role in the formation of the nano-double-drums. The structures were studied by TEM and photophysical properties were determined.
