• Abstract The phenalenyl-based dysprosium complexes [Dy(PLN)2(HPLN)Cl(EtOH)] (1), [Dy(PLN)3(HPLN)]·[Dy(PLN)3(EtOH)]·2EtOH (2) and [Dy(PLN)3(H2O)2]·H2O (3), HPLN being 9-hydroxy-1H-phenalen-1-one, have been synthesized. All compounds were fully characterized by means of single crystal X-ray analysis

• synthesize sublimable phenalenyl-based dysprosium complexes have been made by implementing a synthetic strategy under anhydrous conditions. The sublimed species were characterized and their thermal stability was confirmed. This opens up the possibility to deposit phenalenyl-based lanthanides complexes by

• very reason we have synthesized and studied the phenalenyl-based alternative, OSC tris(1-oxo-1H-phenalen-9-olate)aluminum(III) (Al(Op)3) (see Figure 1), which is formed by ligands with an extended aromatic system. The expected result is an increased capability to accept and efficiently delocalize

• )3 are reported. Phenalenyl-based complexes (more specifically lanthanoid phenalenyls) have been previously studied for their peculiar photoluminescence in the gas phase [18][19]. Greisch et al. observed that the alkali metal cationization of Eu(Op)3 increases the capability of the ligand 1-oxo-1H
