Synthesis and Fluorescent and Magnetic Properties of a New Europium Complex Eu(C_(20)H_(14)O_3N)_3(2,2'-bipy)(H_2O)·H_2O

A new europium(Ⅲ) complex Eu(C_(20)H_(14)O_3N)_3(2,2?-bipy)(H_2O)·H_2O has been synthesized with2-diphenylanine carbonyl benzoic acid and 2,2?-bipyridine as ligands.Crystal data for the complex are as follows:triclinic,space group ■,a=11.3334(5),b=16.0883(7),c=17.0116(8)?,α=70.411(4)o,β=82.435(4)o,γ=85.095(4)o,V=2894.0(2)?~3,D_c=1.484 g/cm~3,Z=2,μ=1.15 mm~(-1),F(000)=1320 and the final R=0.0447 and w R=0.0578.The Eu(Ⅲ) ion is coordinated by nine atoms to give a monocapped square antiprism coordination geometry.The complex shows two intense fluorescence emission bands arising from the transitions of Eu~(3+):~5D_0→~7F_1 (592 nm) and ~5D_0→~7F_2 (616 nm),respectively.Also reported is the magnetic property of the complex.The complex exhibits antiferromagnetism in the temperature range of 300～2 K.
