Abstract
The systematic series of trinuclear carboxylate complexes [Zn<sub>2</sub>Ln(NO<sub>3</sub>)(phbz)<sub>6</sub>(L)<sub>2</sub>] (Ln = Eu, Gd, and Tb, where phbz is the anion of 4-biphenylcarboxylic acid, and L is pyridine, 2,3-lutidine or 2,2′-bipyridine) were synthesized. Luminescence properties were investigated in detail.
