Light up the POMs: A luminescent lanthanoid complex with polyoxometalate (POM) and organic ligands has been structurally characterized (see picture). Comparison of this octanuclear TbIII complex of 2-picolinate and tungstoarsenate ligands with a dinuclear relative reveals the role of the organic ligands as chromophores, identifies the luminescent Tb centers, and determines the relationship between POM coordination mode and luminescence quenching.
