Rare-earth β-diketonates are complexes of β-diketones (1, 3-diketones) with rare-earth ions.
These complexes are the most popular and the most intensively investigated rare-earth …

Metal complexes bearing linked hexafluoroacetylacetonates and ancillary Lewis ligands,
have found wide interest as precursors for metal-organic chemical vapor deposition …

The so-called “metal-radical approach” to the design of molecule-based magnetic materials
relies on the availability of paramagnetic ligands that can reliably form coordination …

Four novel Cd (C5F6HO2) 2⊙ polyether adducts were prepared through simple procedures
with stoichiometric quantities of cadmium oxide, hexafluoroacetylacetone C5F6H2O2, and …

A novel single‐source precursor NaGd (TFA) 4 (diglyme)(TFA= trifluoroacetate) was
synthesized, characterized thoroughly, and used to obtain the hexagonal phase of NaGdF4 …

A new class of volatile, low-melting, fluorine-free lanthanide metal− organic chemical vapor
deposition (MOCVD) precursors has been developed. The neutral, monomeric Ce, Nd, Gd …

The panorama of trishexafluoroacetylacetonato polyether complexes of rare-earth metals is
considered. The methods of preparation have been classified according to the nature of the …

Gadolinium metal-organic frameworks (Gd-MOFs) and Eu-doped Gd-MOFs have been
synthesized through a one-pot green approach using commercially available reagents. The …
