Analysis of Ligand Field Effects in Europium(III) Phosphates

Optical spectra (powder reflectance, UV/Vis/NIR region), and temperature dependent magnetic behavior (χ, μ/μ_B) were recorded for the series of anhydrous europium(III) phosphates Eu^III₃O₃(PO₄), Eu^IIIPO₄, Eu^III₂P₄O₁₃, lt- and ht-Eu^III(PO₃)₃, and Eu^IIIP₅O₁₄. By modeling within the AOM framework, the experimental data can be related to the ligand-field splitting experienced by the Eu³⁺ ions in the various mainly low-symmetry coordination environments. Our study confirms the well-established relation e_σ(Eu³⁺–O^2–) ~ d(Eu³⁺–O^2–)^–7.0 between the AOM parameter and the interatomic distance. In addition it is shown that e_σ(Eu³⁺–O^2–) depends strongly on the highly variable polarizability of the oxygen ligator atoms. This polarizability can be related to the optical basicity Λ of the various phosphates.     

Analytical Methods for Determining the Concentration Ratio in Mixtures of Trioctylphosphine Oxide and Di(2-Ethylhexyl)Phosphoric Acid

Abstract

Analytical methods are described for determining the concentration ratio of trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) and di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D₂ EHPA) in hydrocarbon solvents or in mixtures where the D₂ EHPA is the solvent. The Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA) method was used to analyze the mixtures for the relative amounts of phosphine oxide-phosphorus to phosphoric acid-phosphorus as well as the variance with the mixture composition of the Ols/P2p signal intensity. The nmr signal strength of the protons of the oxymethylene group of the D₂ EHPA and the signal strength of the other protons of D₂ EHPA and TOPO were measured in solutions of varying concentrations of D₂ EHPA and TOPO. Mass spectral comparisons of the molecular ion strengths of TOPO and D₂ EHPA were also correlated with mixture composition.     

Solid Solutions of Europium(III) and Gadolinium(III) Trifluoroacetate Trihydrates as Precursors of Solid Solutions of Europium and Gadolinium Trifluorides

The system Eu(CF₃CO₂)₃-Gd(CF₃CO₂)₃-H₂O, which forms solid solutions Eu_xGd₁-x(CF₃CO₂)₃ · 3H₂O, was studied. The thermolysis of these solutions at 350-360°C yields solid solutions of lanthanide trifluorides. X-ray examination showed that these solid solutions are formed on the basis of the predominantly rhombic phase of Eu(III) and Gd(III) trifluorides.     

Europium(III) and terbium(III) chelates of quinolonecarboxylic acid derivatives as labels for immunofluorimetric assay

Luminescence properties of Tb(III) and Eu(III) complexes of quinolonecarboxylic acid derivatives were studied. Optimal conditions of luminescence were determined, and the influence of surfactants and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid on the luminescence properties of the complexes was studied. It was demonstrated that species-specific immunoglobulins labeled with terbium ions can be determined with the detection limit of the lanthanide label 5 x 10^-14 M.     

Bis(amido)cyclodiphosph(III)azane Complexes of Yttrium and the Lanthanides

The first cyclodiphosph(III)azane complexes of the rare‐earth elements have been synthesized. Reactions of the lithium salt cis‐[(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂{Li(thf)}₂] with anhydrous yttrium trichloride or the heavier lanthanide trichlorides resulted in the corresponding cyclodiphosph(III)azane complexes [Li(thf)₄][{(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂}LnCl₂] (Ln=Y ( 1 a ), Ho ( 1 b ), Er ( 1 c )). The single‐crystal X‐ray structures showed that compounds 1 a – c consisted of ion pairs composed of a [Li(thf)₄]⁺ cation and a C_2v symmetric [{(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂}LnCl₂]^? anion. By treating cis‐[(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂{Li(thf)}₂] with anhydrous SmCl₃ in THF, the trimetallic complex [{(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂}SmCl₃Li₂(thf)₄] ( 2 ) was obtained. The influence of the ionic radii of the lanthanides can be seen in the single‐crystal X‐ray structure of compound 2 , which forms a six‐membered Cl‐Li‐Cl‐Li‐Cl‐Sm metallacycle. The ring adopts a boat conformation in which one chlorine atom and the samarium atom are displaced from the Cl₂Li₂ least‐square plane. Heating of the metalate complexes in toluene resulted in the extrusion of lithium chloride and the formation of the neutral dimeric metal chloride complexes of the composition [(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂LnCl(thf)]₂ (Ln=Y ( 3 a ), La ( 3 b ) Nd ( 3 c ), Sm ( 3 d )). Furthermore, treating 1 a with KNPh₂ resulted in a lithium metalate complex of the composition [Li(thf)₄][{(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂}Y(NPh₂)₂] ( 4 ). The coordination mode of the {(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂}^2? ligand in 4 is different to that observed in 1 a – c , 2 , and 3 a – d ; instead of a symmetric η² coordination of the ligand, a heterocubane‐type structure is observed in the solid state. The complex [(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂NdCl(thf)] ( 3 c ) was used as a Ziegler–Natta catalyst for the polymerization of 1,3‐butadiene to poly‐cis‐1,4‐butadiene. The observed activities of the Ziegler–Natta catalyst strongly depended upon the nature of the cocatalyst; in some case very high turnover rates and a cis selectivity of 93–94 % were observed.     

Europium(III) DOTA-tetraamide complexes as redox-active MRI sensors

PARACEST redox sensors containing the NAD(+)/NADH mimic N-methylquinolinium moiety as a redox-active functional group have been designed and synthesized. The Eu(3+) complex with two quinolinium moieties was nearly completely CEST-silent in the oxidized form but was "turned on" upon reduction with β-NADH. The CEST effect of the Eu(3+) complex containing only one quinolinium group was much less redox-responsive but showed an unexpected sensitivity to pH in the physiologically relevant pH range.

Luminescence Spectral Properties of Europium(III) and Terbium(III) Complexes with Cinnamic Acid

Europium and terbium mixed-ligand complexes with cinnamic acid of composition Ln(Cin)₃· nD · xH₂O, where Ln = Eu³⁺or Tb³⁺, Cin is a cinnamate ion (C₆H₅CH=CHCOO^–), D = 1,10-phenantroline, 2,2"-dipyridyl, benzotriazole (n= 2, x= 0), triphenylphosphine oxide (n= 1, x= 2), or H₂O (n= 0 or 1, x= 0), were synthesized. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and luminescence spectroscopy. The Stark structure of the ⁵ D ₀–⁷ F _j(j= 0, 1, 2) electronic transitions in the low-temperature luminescence spectra of europium complexes was analyzed. IR study has revealed a bidentate coordination of the cinnamate ion in the compounds.     

Photoreduction of Europium (III) in Sol-Gel Derived Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Materials

Eu²⁺-doped inorganic-organic hybrid materials, which are potentially suitable for a tunable laser in the near ultra violet and blue region, were prepared through the photoreduction of Eu³⁺ ions in the materials under the irradiation of the fourth harmonic wave light (266 nm) of the Nd:YAG laser. The hybrid materials doped with Eu³⁺ ions were prepared from Si(OCH₃)₄, CH₃Si(OCH₃)₃, EuCl₃ and chloropropyltrimethoxysilane (CPTM). After the prehydrolized silica sol was added to the Eu³⁺-containing solution, Eu³⁺-doped transparent inorganic-organic hybrid material was obtained by drying at 50°C. The emission peak around 450–475 nm due to the charge transfer transition (5d-4f) of Eu²⁺ ions increased with the laser irradiation time. Eu³⁺ ions were effectively photoreduced to Eu²⁺ ions in pore-free materials prepared at high CPTM to Eu³⁺ ratios. Eu²⁺ ions were generated by the photodecomposition of the bond between Eu³⁺ and Cl (Cl^– or Cl(CH₂)₃ in CPTM).     

Structural Analysis of Isomeric Europium(III) Chelates of NB-DOTMA

Water exchange in lanthanide(III) chelates is a key parameter in developing more effective MRI contrast agents. Our own efforts to optimize water exchange have focused on isolating single coordination geometries of LnDOTA-type chelates (DOTA = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetate.) This isolation may be achieved by appropriately substituting the ligand framework to freeze-out the conformational exchange processes that interconvert coordination geometries. When a single nitrobenzyl substituent is used to "lock" the conformation of the macrocyclic ring, two regioisomeric chelates may be produced; the substituent may be alternatively located on the corner or the side of the ring. Here, we unambiguously demonstrate this regioisomerism by examining the COSY spectra of some conformationally locked Eu(3+) chelates. This exercise also demonstrated that diastereoisomeric chelates arising from racemization of chiral centers during the ligand synthesis, recently discounted as the origin of multiple isomeric chelates, can be produced and isolated. Furthermore, these COSY data revealed several through space NOE correlations that afford a great deal of information about the conformation of the nitrobenzyl substituent. In those isomers in which the substituent is located on the corner of the ring, the nitrobenzyl group is oriented approximately perpendicular to the plane of the macrocycle pointing upward and away from the chelate. In contrast, when the substituent is located on the side of the ring, the nitrobenzyl group is oriented approximately in plane with the macrocycle, pointing along the side of the chelate. Because the main purpose of the nitro group is to facilitate chemical modification and conjugation to biologically relevant molecules, these differences may have important consequences. Specifically, it seems likely that the same chelate may interact very differently with biological systems and molecules depending upon the regioisomer and therefore the orientation of the chelate relative to the biomolecule.     

Photo-and Electro-luminescence of the New Ternary Europium(III) Complex

In recent years, the interest in developing luminescent lanthanide complexes has been greatly stimulated by their potential use in electroluminescent displays1. Europium complexes appear most attractive in view of the high photoluminescent efficiency and the high monochromatic red light that are widely exploited in full-color displays2. It has been approved that the second ligand plays an important role in europium complexes, the synergistic complexation of the second ligand can not only lead …     

铕(III)三元配合物荧光性质的研究

According to fluorescent spectra of a series of Eu(III) ternary complexes in the three solvents EtOH, DMF and CH3CN, the fluorescence is stronger in the solvent CH3CN than in the solvents EtOH and DMF, and fluorescent intensity is contrary to the affinity of three solvents with rare earth ions. Center ions emit fluorescence mainly by an intramolecular energy transfer from the broad absorbing β-diketonate TTA, BTA or BA to the chelated rare earth ions.     

New Heteroaromatic Complexing Agents and Luminescence of Their Europium(III) and Terbium(III) Chelates

Twelve heteroaromatic complexing agents 9a–I were synthesized with the purpose to develop suitable labels for time-resolved luminescence-based bioaffinity assays. The relative luminescence yields, excitation maxima, and emission decay constants of their europium(III) and terbium(III) chelates were determined. According to these results, 2,2′,2″,2?-[(2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-diyl)bis(methylenenitrilo)]tetrakis (acetic acid) ( 9e ) and 2,2′,2″,2?-[(2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine-6,6″-diyl)bis(methylenenitrilo)] tetrakis(acetic acid) ( 91 ) are the most promising agents.
