Three new binuclear lanthanide complexes of general formula [Ln2(L)6(H2O)4] (Ln = Tb (1), Eu (2), and Gd (3)) supported by the novel aromatic carboxylate ligand 4-(dibenzylamino)benzoic acid (HL) have been synthesized. Complexes 1 and 2 were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffrac...
