Mononuclear lanthanide(III)-based complexes with β-thiooxoketone and β-diketone as ligands: effects of soft (S) vs. hard (O) donor substitution on magnetic and luminescent properties.

Lanthanide(III) complexes combine unique magnetic and photophysical features that are highly sensitive to their coordination environment. While β-diketonate ligands with oxygen donors are widely employed in designing single-molecule magnets and luminescent complexes, the incorporation of sulfur donors remains underexpl...
