Remarkable Photosensitized Luminescence of Neodymium(III) Complexes with Halogenated 8-Quinolinol Derivatives

Remarkable luminescence of neodymium ion (Nd(III)) complexed with 8-quinolinol derivatives containing halogen atoms was successfully observed in organic solution under visible light irradiation via photosensitization. Introduction of halogen atoms in the ligands led to enhancement of the luminescence.
