Photosensitized samarium(iii) and erbium(iii) complexes of planar N,N-donor heterocyclic bases: crystal structures and evaluation of biological activity

Abstract

A series of Sm(iii) and Er(iii) complexes of N,N-donor heterocyclic bases were studied for their crystal structures, luminescence properties, binding with biomolecules and photo-induced DNA damage activity.
