Sandwich-type lanthanide complexes with macrocyclic ligand cucurbit[6]uril (C 36H 36N 24O 12, CB[6]) were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions from aqueous solutions of lanthanide(III) bromides, CB[6], and 4-cyanopyridine. According to X-ray analysis (Ln = La, Pr, Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb), the compounds with different structural types of lanthanide cores have a common fragment where the tetranuclear hydroxo complex is sandwiched between two macrocycles {(IN@CB[6])Ln 4(mu 3-OH) 4(IN@CB[6])} (6+) (IN = isonicotinate). The photoluminescence (for Ln = Eu) and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectra (for Ln = Pr, Dy, and Er) were studied. The compounds are used for the first time as precursors for the synthesis of lanthanide-silver heterometallic coordination polymers. The chainlike crystal structure of polymers (Ln = La, Pr, and Dy) is constituted by the sandwich complexes linked via the coordination of IN nitrogen atoms to the silver atoms.

DO and HO, as two important solvents with very similar properties, play a pivotal role in nuclear industrial production, life and scientific research. Unfortunately, DO and HO are highly susceptible to contamination by each other, so effective qualitative and quantitative analyses of both are necessary. This review comprehensively discusses the progress in optical sensing for the detection of a trace amount of HO in heavy water or , mainly including five types of analytical systems: inorganic nanocrystals, carbon-based nanomaterials, lanthanide complexes, organic polymers, and organic small molecules.

The synthesis, structures and magnetic properties of an η5-silole complex and an η5-stannole complex of erbium are reported. The sandwich complex anions [(η5-CpSi)Er(η8-COT)]- and [(η5-CpSn)Er(η8-COT)]-, where CpSi is [SiC4-2,5-(SiMe3)2-3,4-Ph2]2- (1Si), CpSn is [SnC4-2,5-(SiMe3)2-3,4-Me2]2- (1Sn) and COT = cyclo-octatetraenyl, were obtained as their [K(2.2.

The blood-brain-barrier prevents many imaging agents and therapeutics from being delivered to the brain that could fight central nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and strokes. However, techniques such as the use of stapled peptides or peptide shuttles may allow payloads through, with bioconjugation achieved bio-orthogonal tetrazine/norbornene click chemistry. A series of lanthanide-tetrazine probes have been synthesised herein which could be utilised in bio-orthogonal click chemistry with peptide-based delivery systems to deliver MRI agents through the blood-brain-barrier.

While several ligand systems support uranium across a range of oxidation states, spanning more than two oxidation states in a conserved coordination geometry is uncommon among structurally authenticated complexes. Imidophosphorane ligands significantly stabilize high-valent lanthanide and actinide complexes. Here, we report a series of homoleptic uranium imidophosphorane complexes, spanning the +4, +5 and +6 oxidation states in a four-coordinate pseudotetrahedral ligand field.
