Lanthanide metals and their complexes have been widely applied in the fields of material science; biological science; medical science and organic synthesis due to their unique spectral, electrical and magnetic properties. The properties and applications rely on the structures of lanthanide complexes. The design, synthesis and structural characterization of lanthanides complexes have been given much attention. The authors are interested in synthesizing new types of lanthanide complexes. A series of lanthanide complexes containing various types of ligands have been synthesized and structurally characterized in our group. Here the paper reports the synthesis and X-ray crystallography of mononuclear ytterbium (III) complex containing salen and Tp ligands, which exhibits remarkable properties.
