摘要
Tetrazole-2-pyridine-1-oxide was prepared from 2-cyanopyridine and sodium azide, followed by oxidation with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. This ligand forms neutral 1:3 complexes with Eu(III) and Tb(III) cations. The complexes are photoluminescent in solution, with photoluminescence quantum yields 13%and 31%, respectively.
