The first examples of the incorporation of the boraamidinate ligand into lanthanide complexes have been prepared by reaction of equimolar amounts of [Li(2)][PhB(NDipp)(2)] and LnCl(3) in tetrahydrofuran (THF), which produces "ate" complexes of the form {[Li(THF)(4)][bamLnCl(2)(THF)]}(2) [Ln = Y (9a), Pr (9b), Nd (9c), Sm (9d), Ho (9e), Er (9f), Yb (9g)] through the inclusion of the LiCl by-product. The isostructural complexes 9a-g were characterized in the solid state by X-ray crystallography, which revealed ion-separated complexes composed of a dimeric anion with a terminal and a bridging chloride ligand on each metal center and a tetrasolvated cation, [Li(THF)(4)](+). In solution, the yttrium complex 9a was characterized by multinuclear ((1)H, (13)C, (7)Li, and (11)B) NMR spectroscopy. The (1)H and (7)Li NMR spectra of the paramagnetic complexes 9b-9d showed broad resonances, but NMR spectra could not be obtained for 9e-g. The complexes 9a-g are readily soluble in THF, but insoluble in diethyl ether and hexane. The reaction of {[Li(THF)(4)][bamLnCl(2)(THF)]}(2) (Ln = Y, Sm) with an excess of trimethysilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) generates the dimeric neutral complexes {bamLnCl(THF)(2)}(2), which have been characterized by (1)H NMR and X-ray crystallography.

Scintillators that convert ionizing radiation into low-energy photons are essential for medical diagnostics and industrial inspections. Despite advances in X-ray scintillators, challenges remain in achieving high efficiency, environmental compatibility, stability, and flexibility. Here, we present experimental investigations of a new type of europium(III)-based hybrid ternary complex scintillators for improved X-ray detection and imaging.

The signal intensity ratio (SIR) is a crucial factor in advancing probe technology due to its direct impact on sensitivity and precision, particularly in applications such as medical imaging, environmental monitoring, and food safety testing. However, the development of high-SIR probes is challenged by complexities in fabrication, cost, and mechanical stability. In this study, we address these limitations by investigating the role of halogen atom substitutions in modulating the intermolecular binding energy and aggregation behavior of Ce-Salen Schiff base complexes.

The resultant complexes were investigated for their magnetic properties in order to elucidate the impact of modification of the coordinating P-O bond environment either by increasing steric bulk and/or introduction of a third P-N bond at the central phosphorus atom. Magnetic studies revealed substantial energy barriers (Ueff) of 640 K and 560 K for Dy compounds 1 and 2, respectively, rendering them as some of the best-performing air-stable SIMs amongst the class of SIMs with D5h symmetry.

Chemical selectivity is traditionally understood in the context of rigid molecular scaffolds with precisely defined local coordination and chemical environments that ultimately facilitate a given transformation of interest. By contrast, nature leverages dynamic structures and strong coupling to enable specific interactions with target species in otherwise complex media. Taking inspiration from nature, we demonstrate unconventional selectivity in the solvent extraction of light over heavy lanthanides using a conformationally flexible ligand called octadecyl acyclopa (ODA).
