Complexes of lanthanide perchlorates with 4-cyano pyridine-1-oxide, 4-chloro 2-picoline-1-oxide and 4-dimethyl-amino 2-picoline-1-oxide have been isolated for the first time and characterized by analysis, conductance, infrared, NMR and electronic spectra. The complexes of 4-cyano pyridine-1-oxides have the composition Ln(CyPO)₆(ClO₄)₃. 2H₂O (Ln=La, Sm, Dy and Ho); Ln(CyPO)₇ (ClO₄)₃. 2H₂O (Ln=Pr, Nd, Er and Yb); and Ln(CyPO)₅ (ClO₄)₃. 2H₂O (Ln=Gd and Tb). The complexes of 4-chloro 2-picoline-1-oxide analyse for the formulae Ln(CpicO)₆ (ClO₄)₃ (Ln=La, Pr, Nd and Ho); and Ln (CpicO)₅ (ClO₄)₃ (Ln=Er and Yb), and those of 4-dimethylamino 2-picoline-1-oxide for Ln(DMPicO)₆ (ClO₄)₃ (Ln=La and Nd); Ln(DMPicO)₇ (ClO₄)₃ (Ln=Gd, Er and Yb); and Ln(DMPicO)₈ (ClO₄)₃ (Ln=Dy and Ho).

2,4-Lutidine-1-oxide complexes of lanthanide perchlorates

2,4-Lutidine-1-oxide (2,4-LutO) complexes of lanthanide perchlorates of the formulae Ln₂(2,4-LutO)₁₃(ClO₄)₆ (Ln = Pr and Nd) and Ln₂(2,4-LutO)₁₅ (ClO₄)₆ (Ln = La, Tb, Dy, Ho and Yb) have been prepared and characterised by chemical analysis, IR, NMR, conductance and electronic spectral data. Proton NMR data along with the IR data show that the ligand coordinates to the metal ion through the oxygen. Conductance data of the complexes in acetone and nitrobenzene indicate that the perchlorate is not coordinated to the metal ion.     

Hydrothermal phase equilibria in Ln2O3-H2O systems

Hydrothermal phase equilibria studies have been carried out in the Ln₂O₃-H₂O systems (Ln = La, Pr, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu) and the stability fields of the phases Ln(OH)₃ LnOOH and Ln₂O₃-C have been established in the pressure-temperature range of 25000 psi and 900° C. The sequioxides Ln₂O₃-C are stable only in the last four systems of Er to Lu along with the Ln(OH)₃ and LnOOH. The systems from Nd to Ho have only Ln(OH)₃ and LnOOH as stable phases and those from La to Pr have only Ln(OH)₃ as the stable phase. The unit cell parameters of trihydroxides deviate from the values reported in the literature and this is attributed to the contamination of CO₂ in the starting material.     

Complexes of lanthanide nitrates with N,N-diethylantipyrine-4-carboxamide

New complexes of lanthanide nitrates with N, N-diethylantipyrine-4-carboxamide (DEAP), with the general formulae [Ln₂(DEAP)₃] [NO₃]₆ (where Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Tb, Ho, Er, Yb and Y) have been isolated and characterized by chemical analysis and various physical methods such as electrolytic conductance, IR and¹³C NMR spectral data. Electrolytic conductance values and infrared spectral studies indicate that the nitrate groups are coordinated. Infrared and¹³C NMR spectral analysis show that the ligand DEAP is coordinated to the tripositive metal ion through the diethylcarboxamide carbonyl and antipyrine carbonyl oxygens in a bidentate fashion.     

Octanuclear Ni4Ln4 Coordination Aggregates from Schiff Base Anion Supports and Connecting of Two Ni2Ln2 Cubes: Syntheses,Structures, and Magnetic Properties

A family of 3d–4f aggregates have been reported through guiding the dual coordination modes of ligand anion (HL^?) and in situ generated ancillary bridge driven self‐assembly coordination responses toward two different types of metal ions. Reactions of lanthanide(III) nitrate (Ln=Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho and Yb), nickel(II) acetate and phenol‐based ditopic ligand anion of 2‐[{(2‐hydroxypropyl)imino}methyl]‐6‐methoxyphenol (H₂L) in MeCN‐MeOH (3 : 1) mixture and LiOH provided five new octanuclear Ni‐4f coordination aggregates from two Ni₂Ln₂ cubanes. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals that all the members of the family are isostructural, with the central core formed from the coupling of two distorted [Ni₂Ln₂O₄] heterometallic cubanes [Ni₂Ln₂(HL)₂(μ₃‐OH)₂(OH)(OAc)₄]⁺ (Ln=Gd ( 1 ), Tb ( 2 ), Dy ( 3 ), Ho ( 4 ) and Yb ( 5 )). Higher coordination demand of 4f ions induced the coupling of the two cubes by (OH)(OAc)₂ bridges. Variable temperature magnetic study reveals weak coupling between the Ni²⁺ and Ln³⁺ ions. For the Tb ( 2 ) and Dy ( 3 ) analogs, the compounds are SMMs without an applied dc field, whereas the Gd ( 1 ) analogue is not an SMM. The observation revealed thus that the anisotropy of the Ln³⁺ ions is central to display the SMM behavior within this structurally intriguing family of compounds.     

Hetero‐tri‐spin [2p‐3d‐4f] Chain Compounds Based on Nitronyl Nitroxide Lanthanide Metallo‐Ligands: Synthesis,Structure, and Magnetic Properties

Employing nitronyl nitroxide lanthanide(III) complexes as metallo‐ligands allowed the efficient and highly selective preparation of three series of unprecedented hetero‐tri‐spin (Cu?Ln‐radical) one‐dimensional compounds. These 2p–3d–4f spin systems, namely [Ln₃Cu(hfac)₁₁(NitPhOAll)₄] (Ln^III=Gd 1_Gd , Tb 1_Tb , Dy 1_Dy ; NitPhOAll=2‐(4′‐allyloxyphenyl)‐4,4,5,5‐tetramethylimidazoline‐1‐oxyl‐3‐oxide), [Ln₃Cu(hfac)₁₁(NitPhOPr)₄] (Ln^III=Gd 2_Gd , Tb 2_Tb , Dy 2_Dy , Ho 2_Ho , Yb 2_Yb ; NitPhOPr=2‐(4′‐propoxyphenyl)‐4,4,5,5‐tetramethyl‐imidazoline‐1‐oxyl‐3‐oxide) and [Ln₃Cu(hfac)₁₁(NitPhOBz)₄] (Ln^III=Gd 3_Gd , Tb 3_Tb , Dy 3_Dy ; NitPhOBz=2‐(4′‐benzyloxyphenyl)‐4,4,5,5‐tetramethyl‐imidazoline‐1‐oxyl‐3‐oxide) involve O‐bound nitronyl nitroxide radicals as bridging ligands in chain structures with a [Cu‐Nit‐Ln‐Nit‐Ln‐Nit‐Ln‐Nit] repeating unit. The dc magnetic studies show that ferromagnetic metal–radical interactions take place in these hetero‐tri‐spin chain complexes, these and the next‐neighbor interactions have been quantified for the Gd derivatives. Complexes 1_Tb and 2_Tb exhibit frequency dependence of ac magnetic susceptibilities, indicating single‐chain magnet behavior.

Complexes of Heavy Lanthanides and Yttrium with 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic Acid

The complexes of yttrium and heavy lanthanides with 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid of the formula: Ln(C₉ H₉ O₄ )₃ ×n H₂ O, where Ln =Y(III), Tb(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III), Tm(III), Yb(III) and Lu(III), and n =4 for Tb(III), Dy(III), n =3 for Ho(III), and n =0 for Er(III), Tm(III), Yb(III), Lu(III) and Y(III) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and magnetic studies and X-ray diffraction measurements. The complexes have colours typical of Ln³⁺ ions (Ho - cream, Tb, Dy, Yb, Lu, Y - white, Er - salmon). The carboxylate group in these complexes is a symmetrical, bidentate, chelating ligand. They are crystalline compounds characterized by various symmetry. On heating in air to 1273 K the hydrated 3,4-dimethoxybenzoates decompose in two steps while those of anhydrous only in one stage. The tetrahydrates of Tb and Dy and trihydrate of Ho 3,4-dimethoxybenzoates are firstly dehydrated to form anhydrous salts that next are decomposed to the oxides of the respective metals. The complexes of Er, Tm, Yb, Lu and Y are directly decomposed to the oxides of the appropriate elements. The solubility in water at 293 K for yttrium and heavy lanthanides is in the order of 10^-4 -10^-3 mol dm^-3 . The magnetic moments of the complexes were determined over the range 77–298 K. They obey the Curie-Weiss law. The values of μ_eff calculated for all compounds are close to those obtained for Ln³⁺ by Hund and van Vleck. The results show that there is no influence of the ligand field on 4f electrons of lanthanide ions in these polycrystalline compounds and 4f electrons do not take part in the formation of M-O bonding. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis,Structures, and Luminescent Properties of Chloride and Nitrate LnIII Complexes Coordinated by tris(Pyrazolyl)methane

We report the synthesis of Ln³⁺ nitrate [Ln(Tpm)(NO₃)₃] ⋅ MeCN (Ln=Yb ( 1Yb ), Eu ( 1Eu )) and chloride [Yb(Tpm)Cl₃] ⋅ 2MeCN ( 2Yb ), [Eu(Tpm)Cl₂(μ-Cl)]₂ ( 2Eu ) complexes coordinated by neutral tripodal tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane (Tpm). The crystal structures of 1Ln and 2Ln were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction, while for 1Yb high resolution experiment was performed. Nitrate complexes 1Ln are isomorphous and both adopt mononuclear structure. Chloride 2Yb is monomeric, while Eu³⁺ analogue 2Eu adopts a binuclear structure due to two μ²-bridging chloride ligands. The typical lanthanide luminescence was observed for europium complexes ( 1Eu and 2Eu ) as well as for terbium and dysprosium analogues ([Ln(Tpm)(NO₃)₃] ⋅ MeCN, Ln=Tb ( 1Tb ), Dy ( 1Dy ); [Ln(Tpm)Cl₃] ⋅ 2MeCN, Ln=Tb ( 2Tb ), Dy ( 2Dy )).     

Thermal decomposition of lanthanide(III) complexes of bis-(salicylaldehyde)-1,3-propylenediimine Schiff base ligand

The thermal decomposition of lanthanide complexes, with a general formula: [LnL(NO₃)₂](NO₃), where Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, and Er; and L = bis-(salicyladehyde)-1,3-propylenediimine Schiff base ligand, was studied by thermogravimetric (TG) and derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) techniques. The TG and DTG data indicated that all complexes are thermostable up to 398 K. The thermal decomposition of all Ln(III) complexes was a two-stage process and the final residues were Ln₂O₃ (Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Er), Tb₄O₇, and Pr₆ O₁₁. The activation energies of thermal decomposition of the complexes were calculated from analysis of the TG-DTG curves using the Kissinger, Friedman, and Flynn-Well-Ozawa methods.     

Complexes of some 4f metal ions of the mesogenic Schiff-base,N,N′-di-(4-decyloxysalicylidene)-1′,3′-diaminobenzene: synthesis and spectral studies

A mesogenic Schiff-base, N,N′-di-(4-decyloxysalicylidene)-1′,3′-diaminobenzene, H₂ddsdbz (abbreviated as H₂L), that exhibits a nematic mesophase was synthesized and its structure was studied by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, NMR, and IR spectral techniques. The Schiff-base, H₂L, upon condensation with hydrated lanthanide(III) nitrates yields Ln^III complexes, [Ln₂(LH₂)₃(NO₃)₄](NO₃)₂, where Ln?=?La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, and Ho. Analyses of the IR and NMR spectral data imply bidentate Schiff-base through two phenolate oxygen atoms in its zwitterionic form to Ln^III, rendering the overall geometry of the complexes as a seven-coordinate polyhedron – possibly distorted mono-capped octahedron. Polarizing optical microscope and differential scanning calorimetry studies reveal that despite H₂L being mesogenic, none of the Ln^III complexes synthesized under this study exhibits mesomorphism.     

Stabilization Of The CN35− Anion In Recoverable High-pressure Ln3O2(CN3) (Ln=La,Eu, Gd,Tb, Ho,Yb) Oxoguanidinates

A series of isostructural Ln₃O₂(CN₃) (Ln=La, Eu, Gd, Tb, Ho, Yb) oxoguanidinates was synthesized under high-pressure (25–54 GPa) high-temperature (2000–3000 K) conditions in laser-heated diamond anvil cells. The crystal structure of this novel class of compounds was determined via synchrotron single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) as well as corroborated by X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The Ln₃O₂(CN₃) solids are composed of the hitherto unknown CN₃⁵⁻ guanidinate anion—deprotonated guanidine. Changes in unit cell volumes and compressibility of Ln₃O₂(CN₃) (Ln=La, Eu, Gd, Tb, Ho, Yb) compounds are found to be dictated by the lanthanide contraction phenomenon. Decompression experiments show that Ln₃O₂(CN₃) compounds are recoverable to ambient conditions. The stabilization of the CN₃⁵⁻ guanidinate anion at ambient conditions provides new opportunities in inorganic and organic synthetic chemistry.     

Magneto,spectral and thermal studies of lanthanide perchlorato complexes of 5,6-benzoquinoline

The thermal behaviour of these complexes have also been studied.

The structural features of [Ln(H₂O)₉]I₃·2CS(NH₂)₂ (Ln = Pr, Nd, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb) are discussed. The compounds of thiocarbamide with Pr, Nd, Eu, Gd, and Dy iodides are found to form the first isostructural series characterized by a continuous network structure, while with Ho, Er, and Yb iodides the second isostructural series with a layered type structure is formed.

Novel lanthanide complexeswith di-2-pyridyl ketone-<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-chloro-benzoylhydrazone

The reaction of a hydrated nitrate salt of lanthanide(III) (Ln=Er, Ho, Tb, Gd) or yttrium(III) (Y) with the ligand di-2-pyridyl ketone-p-Cl-benzoylhydrazone (DpkClBH), afforded air stable solid compounds. The new complexes characterized by means of elemental analysis (C, H, N, Ln), magnetic moment determinations and spectroscopic data (IR, MS). It is proposed that they are cationic of the general type: [Ln(DpkClBH)₂(NO₃)₂]NO₃·nH₂O, (n=2, 1, 1, 1, 1.5 for Ln=Y, Gd, Tb, Ho, Er, respectively). Their thermal decomposition was studied in nitrogen atmosphere, between 25–980°C, by using simultaneous TG/DTG-DTA technique. The IR spectroscopy used to determine the intermediates and the final products. The anhydrous nitrate complexes decomposed to the intermediates Ln(DpkClBH)(NO₃)₂, which upon further heating give a carbonaceous residue of Ln₂O₃ at 980°C. The mass spectra revealed the molecular ions of the complexes and their possible fragmentation pattern.     

Extraction of rare-earth nitrates by phosphoryl podands

The distribution of trace amounts of rare-earth nitrates between aqueous solutions of NH₄NO₃ and organic solutions of phosphoryl podands is studied for Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, and Y. The stoichiometry of the extraction complexes is determined. The effect of the structure of the extractant and the nature of the organic solvent on the efficiency of rare-earth recovery to the organic phase is considered.     

Application of rotate-bomb calorimeter for determining the standard molar enthalpy of formation of Ln(Pdc)3(Phen)

Thirteen solid ternary complexes Ln(Pdc)₃(Phen) (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu;) have been synthesized in absolute ethanol by rare-earth element chloride low hydrate reacting with the mixed ligands of ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (APdc) and 1,10-phenanthroline · H₂O (o-Phen · H₂O) in the ordinary laboratory atmosphere without any cautions against moisture or air sensitivity. IR spectra of the complexes showed that the Ln³⁺ ion was coordinated with six sulfur atoms of three Pdc⁻ and two nitrogen atoms of o-Phen · H₂O. It was assumed that the coordination number of Ln³⁺ is eight. The constant-volume combustion energies of the complexes, Δ_c U, were determined by a precise rotate-bomb calorimeter at 298.15 K. Their standard molar enthalpies of combustion, Δ_c H _m ^o , and standard molar enthalpies of formation, Δ_f H _m ^o were calculated. The text was submitted by the authors in English.
