Abstract

Three Zn–Ln clusters [Ln₈Zn₆(L¹)₂(OAc)₂₀(O)₂(NO₃)₄(OH)₄] (Ln = Sm (1) and Nd (2)) and [Nd₄Zn₄(L²)₂(OAc)₁₀(NO₃)₂(OH)₄] (3) were prepared using two long-chain Schiff base ligands. The Zn–Ln clusters exhibit interesting nano-square-like structures. Their visible and NIR luminescence properties were investigated.
