Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 471424360
The aim of the project is the discovery of formally low-coordinate lanthanide complexes, bearing a bulky carbazole ligand and related ligand systems. The central structural motif will feature a sterically demanding monoanionic carbazolide ligand R to stabilize reactive, relatively low-coordinate complexes. The carbazole framework provides the basis for several interesting properties due to the inherent ability to delocalize charge considerably in the -scaffold. Therefore, both unusual positive and negative charges can be dissipated from the central metal atom and stabilize the resulting reactive complex. The inherently electron-rich ligand can con-tribute to luminescence effects in dependence of coordinated atoms.
