Formation of two diverse classes of poly(amino-alkoxide) chelates and their mononuclear and polynuclear lanthanide(III) complexes

Research has been conducted on lanthanide(III) ions. The authors have investigated the factors affecting the aggregation of these ions in order to produce polynuclear complexes, and they report that these factors have been studied via utilization of 1-aziridineethanol as a source of acyclic and macrocyclic chelates.
