Bis(3,4-diphenyl)(2-methythienyl)cyclopentadienyl Terbium Chloride

Abstract

A new terbium(III) complex with a (3,4-diphenyl)(2-methylthienyl)cyclopentadienyl ligand was synthesized. Single-crystal X-ray analysis revealed a binuclear biscyclopentadienyl complex with a [TbCl2K]2 core. Luminescence properties of the terbium complex were analyzed.
