β-Diketonate; X-ray structure Introduction β-Diketonates are a family of the most widely investigated ligands in lanthanide complexes They usually occur as keto-enol tautomerisms, in solutions and in solids, as evidenced by solution 1H NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses The β-diketonates have been recognized as efficient sensitizers, so called “antennae’’, to achieving high harvest lanthanide emissions, owing to the effectiveness of the energy transfer from the β-diketonate to the Ln3+ cation Thus this family of complexes have developed rapidly, and attracted long-lasting interest because of their promising prospects in widespread applications, ranging from materials science to biomedical analysis [1-6] The structural characterization plays an important role in the development of the chemistry of β-diketonate lanthanide complexes For the purpose of probing the formation and structure of the rare earth complexes with β-diketonate ligands and auxiliary ligand containing anthracene substituent In the following discussions, the main attention will be focused on the synthesis and structures of yttrium(III) complexes containing 2-naphthoyltrifluoroacetone (HTFNB);
