Abstract:
One Zn-Nd complex [Zn2Nd4L2(OAc)10(OH)2(CH3OH)2] (1) was synthesized from Schiff base ligand bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)ethylene-1,2-phenylenediamine (H2L). 1 shows nanoscale rectangular structure with sizes of about 0.8 × 1.1 × 2.8 nm. 1 exhibits typical near-infrared luminescence of Nd(III) under the excitation of UV-visible light. Further study shows that the complex displays luminescent response behavior to anions and nitro explosives, especially with high sensitivity to H2 and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by...
