Lipophilic ternary complexes in liquid–liquid extraction of trivalent lanthanides

The formation of ternary complexes between lanthanide ions [Nd(III) or Eu(III)], octyl(phenyl)-N,N-diisobutyl-carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO), and bis-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (HDEHP) was probed by liquid–liquid extraction and spectroscopic techniques. Equilibrium modeling of data for the extraction of Nd(III) or Eu(III) from lactic acid media into n-dodecane solutions of CMPO and HDEHP indicates the predominant extracted species are of the type [Ln(AHA)₂(A)] and [Ln(CMPO)(AHA)₂(A)], where Ln?=?Nd or Eu and A represents the DEHP^? anion. FTIR (for both Eu and Nd) and visible spectrophotometry (in the case of Nd) indicate the formation of the [Ln(CMPO)(A)₃] complexes when CMPO is added to n-dodecane solutions of the LnA₃ compounds. Both techniques indicate a stronger propensity of CMPO to complex Nd(III) versus Eu(III).     

Crystal Chemistry of the Saccharinato Complexes of Trivalent Lanthanides and Yttrium

Saccharinate complexes of the fourteen trivalent lanthanide cations and Y^III were prepared by reaction between the respective lanthanide carbonates and saccharin in aqueous solution. Their crystal structures were determined by single crystal X‐ray diffractometry. They represent three different structural types. The first family, of composition [Ln(sac)(H₂O)₈](sac)₂�H₂O (sac = anion of saccharin; Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd.Sm, Eu), belongs to the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with Z = 4 and the Ln^III cation is in a tricapped trigonal prismatic environment with nine‐fold oxygen coordination. The second group of composition [Ln(sac)₂(H₂O)₆]‐(sac)(Hsac)�4H₂O with Ln = Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb, Lu, and Y, pertains to the triclinic P1¯‐ space group, with Z = 2 and constitutes a new example of complexes containing simultaneously saccharin and its anion in the lattice. The Tm^III and Tb^III compounds, which are also triclinic (space group P1¯‐ and Z = 2) present two closely related structures conformed by three and two [Ln(sac)(H₂O)₇]²⁺ crystallographically independent complexes, respectively, with the [Tm(sac)(H₂O)₇]₃(sac)₆�9H₂O and [Tb(sac)(H₂O)₇]2(sac)₄�6H₂O composition. For all the heavier lanthanides (Gd‐Lu) and yttrium the cation presents eight‐fold oxygen coordination, with the ligands at the corners of a slightly distorted square Archimedean antiprism.     

A dinuclear lanthanide complex for the recognition of bis(carboxylates): formation of terbium(III) luminescent self-assembly ternary complexes in aqueous solution

The synthesis and photophysical properties of a coordinatively unsaturated cationic dinuclear terbium complex, 2.Tb(2), that can detect the presence of mono- or bis(carboxylates) in buffered aqueous solution at physiological pH is described. Full ligand synthesis and structural characterization of 2.Na(2) are also described. Spectroscopic measurements determined that each Tb(III) metal center has two metal-bound water molecules (q = 2). The recognition or sensing of N,N-dimethylaminocarboxylic acid, 4, and the bis(carboxylate) terephthalic acid, 5, which can also function as sensitizing antennae, was found to occur through the binding of these carboxylates to the metal center via the displacement of the metal bound water molecules. This gave rise to the formation of luminescent ternary complexes in solution in 2:1 or 1:1 (ion:2.Tb(2)) stoichiometry, respectively. Aliphatic bis(carboxylates) also bind to 2.Tb(2) where the selectivity for the ion recognition and stoichiometry was dictated by the structure of the anion, being most selective for pimelic acid, 6. Binding of either l- or d-tartaric acid gave rise to the formation ternary complex formation, with 2:1 stoichiometry, where the ion recognition resulted in quenching of the lanthanide emission.     

Spectrophotometry and Luminescence Spectroscopy of Acetohydroxamate Complexes of Trivalent Lanthanide and Actinide Ions

The complexation chemistries of acetohydroxamic acid (HA) with the trivalent Eu, Tb and Cm ions have been probed by combinations of Optical Absorbance Spectroscopy (OAS), Time Resolved Laser Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy (TRLIFS) and emission spectroscopy, with some rather unexpected trends being observed. The formation of four complexed species was established for all three metal cations by OAS. The magnitudes of the formation constants of the respective M(A) _n ³⁻ⁿ complexes suggested a much stronger binding efficiency of HA for the first two complexation steps than the third and fourth steps. Tb(III) and Eu(III) TRLIFS data both suggested a final octadentate tetrakis-hydroxamato complex in which the metal ion is close to being fully dehydrated. Step-wise dehydration of Tb(III) by successive ligands did not appear to proceed as expected for a bidentate ligand. Of the EuA _n complexes, only the tetrakis species was found to luminesce, with HA causing an unusually strong quenching effect for all other Eu species. Cm(III) complexation appeared similar to the lanthanide analogs.     

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 )).     

NMR and Luminescence Binding Studies of Ytterbium,Thulium, and Europium Macrocyclic Complexes with Phosphorus(V) Oxy Anions

The binding of a series of phosphate anions to coordinatively unsaturated macrocyclic complexes of Yb, Tm, and Eu was studied by ¹H‐NMR, emission and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectroscopy. Each ternary adduct was distinguished by its spectral profile. With O‐phosphorylated amino acids and peptides, chemoselective ligation of the phosphate moiety was favored by Eu over chelation involving the terminal amino group, which was competitive for Tm and Yb. A preference for binding O‐phosphono‐L ‐tyrosine sites was found with various Eu complexes, and was signalled by ratiometric changes in metal‐based emission and CPL spectra.     

Bimetallic Lanthanide Complexes Derived from Macrocycle‐Appended m‐Xylyl Derivatives: Synthesis and Spectroscopic Properties

A series of bimetallic lanthanide complexes was prepared from a bimacrocyclic system in which two DO3A units are linked by a m‐xylyl unit appended with either a NO₂ or an NH₂ group (DO3A=1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane‐1,4,7‐triacetic acid). The Nd‐, Eu‐, Tb‐ and Yb‐complexes were all luminescent: time‐resolved studies indicated that the lipophilic xylyl group restricts close approach of H₂O to the metal centre.     

Bright Mono‐aqua Europium Complexes Based on Triazacyclononane That Bind Anions Reversibly and Permeate Cells Efficiently

A series of five europium(III) complexes has been prepared from heptadentate N₅O₂ ligands that possess a brightness of more than 10 mM ^?1 cm^?1 in water, following excitation over the range λ=330–355 nm. Binding of several oxy anions has been assessed by emission spectral titrimetric analysis, with the binding of simple carboxylates, lactate and citrate involving a common ligation mode following displacement of the coordinated water. Selectivity for bicarbonate allows the rapid determination of this anion in human serum, with K_d=37 mM (295 K). The complexes are internalised quickly into mammalian cells and exhibit a mitochondrial localisation at early time points, migrating after a few hours to reveal a predominant lysosomal distribution. Herein, we report the synthesis and complexation behaviour of strongly emissive europium (III) complexes that bind oxy‐anions in aqueous media with an affinity and selectivity profile that is distinctively different from previously studied systems.     

Highly Efficient Visible‐to‐NIR Luminescence of Lanthanide(III) Complexes with Zwitterionic Ligands Bearing Charge‐Transfer Character: Beyond Triplet Sensitization

Two zwitterionic‐type ligands featuring π–π* and intraligand charge‐transfer (ILCT) excited states, namely 1,1′‐(2,3,5,6‐tetramethyl‐1,4‐phenylene)bis(methylene)dipyridinium‐4‐olate (TMPBPO) and 1‐dodecylpyridin‐4(1 H)‐one (DOPO), have been prepared and applied to the assembly of lanthanide coordination complexes in an effort to understand the ligand‐direction effect on the structure of the Ln complexes and the ligand sensitization effect on the luminescence of the Ln complexes. Due to the wide‐band triplet states plus additional ILCT excitation states extending into lower energy levels, broadly and strongly sensitized photoluminescence of f→f transitions from various Ln³⁺ ions were observed to cover the visible to near‐infrared (NIR) regions. Among which, the Pr, Sm, Dy, and Tm complexes simultaneously display both strong visible and NIR emissions. Based on the isostructural feature of the Ln complexes, color tuning and single‐component white light was achieved by preparation of solid solutions of the ternary systems Gd‐Eu‐Tb (for TMPBPO) and La‐Eu‐Tb and La‐Dy‐Sm (for DOPO). Moreover, the visible and NIR luminescence lifetimes of the Ln complexes with the TMPBPO ligand were investigated from 77 to 298 K, revealing a strong temperature dependence of the Tm³⁺ (³H₄) and Yb³⁺ (²F_5/2) decay dynamics, which has not been explored before for their coordination complexes.     

Preparation, Characterization and Properties of Two New Lanthanide(III)-5-(2-pyridyl)tetrazolate Complexes

Two new mononuclear lanthanide(III) complexes Ln(pytz)3(H2O)3·(H2O)3.5[Ln=Tb(1); Eu(2); Hpytz= 5-(2-pyridyl)tetrazole] were synthesized by reacting Hpytz with the corresponding lanthanide(III) ions and characterized. The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that complexes 1 and 2 are isostructural and the lanthanide(III) ions in both complexes 1 and 2 are nine-coordinated, with three oxygen atoms of three coordination water molecules and six nitrogen atoms of three pytz ligands, forming a monocapped square antiprism. Extensive hydrogen bonds exist, resulting in a three-dimensional supramolecular network structure by hydrogen-bonds in both complexes 1 and 2, respectively. Complex 1 exhibits typical green fluorescence of Tb(III) ion and complex 2 red fluorescence of Eu(III) ion, in solid state at room temperature.     

Molecular Design Guidelines for Large Magnetic Circular Dichroism Intensities in Lanthanide Complexes

Magneto optical devices based on the Faraday effects of lanthanide ion have attracted much attention. Recently, large Faraday effects were found in nano‐sized multinuclear lanthanide complexes. In this study, the Faraday rotation intensities were estimated for lanthanide nitrates [Ln^III(NO₃)₃?n H₂O: Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm) and Eu^III complexes with β‐diketone ligands, using magnetic circular dichroism. Eu ions exhibit the largest Faraday rotation intensity for ⁷F₀→⁵D₁ transitions, and high‐symmetry fields around the Eu ions induce larger Faraday effects. The molecular design for the enhancement of Faraday effects in lanthanide complexes is discussed.     

Lanthanide Liquid Crystalline Complexes with Perfluoroalkylsulfate Anion

Lanthanide complexes L"₃Ln(ROSO₃)₃ are synthesized with Ln(III) = Eu, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb; L" = 4-tetradecyloxy-N-octadecyl-2-hydroxybenzaldimine and perfluoro-substituted alkylsulfate anion as counterion (where R = CF₃(CF₂)₈CH₂). Their IR spectra are described. The synthesized compounds are studied by the polythermal polarizing microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The title complexes are thermotropic liquid crystals that exhibit smectic S _A mesophase.     

3-D frameworks assembled by lanthanide dimers with 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline via hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions

Two complexes [Ln(e,a-cis-1,4-chdc)(e,a-cis-1,4-Hchdc)(phen)(H₂O)]₂?10H₂O (Ln = Eu, 1; Tb, 2, 1,4-H₂chdc = 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both complexes are doubly e,a-cis-1,4-chdc-bridged dimers. The e,a-cis-1,4-Hchdc, phen, and water molecules bond to Ln³⁺, forming nine-coordinate complexes. 3-D supramolecular frameworks are constructed by hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions. Luminescence spectra exhibit the ⁵D₀ → ⁷F _J (J = 0–4) and ⁵D₄ → ⁷F _J (J = 6–3) transitions of Eu³⁺ for 1 and Tb³⁺ ion for 2, respectively.     

Studies on synthesis and magnetic resonance of lanthanide complexes with novel Schiff base derived from noncyclic polyether and β-diketone

Nine h( III) complexes with a novel Schiff base derived from diglycolamine and benzoylacetone (BZDA) have been synthesized and characterized. They can be formulated as [Ln₂(BZDA)₃(NO₃)₃](NO₃)₃-nH₂O (Ln? La, Pr, Nd, Sm, n = 4; Ln = Gd, Tb, Er, Yb, Y, n = 7). Enamic form mechanism in this β-diketone Schiff base and its Complexes were suggested and proved by IR, UV and NMR methods. The ¹³C spin-lattice relaxation time T₁ and the ratios of r(C_i-In)/ ^r (c_j-in) were measured by a 500 MHz NMR instrument for elucidating the formation of the stable six-membered chelate ring structure in these complexes. The EPR spectrum of the Gd( III) complex exhibits the “U” spectral feature and “zero field effect”. On the basis of them, the crystal field strength and the local symmetry around Gd ³⁺ in the complex have been discussed.     

Lanthanide(III) Complexes of 4,10‐Bis(phosphonomethyl)‐1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane‐1,7‐diacetic acid (trans‐H6do2a2p) in Solution and in the Solid State: Structural Studies Along the Series

Complexes of 4,10‐bis(phosphonomethyl)‐1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane‐1,7‐diacetic acid (trans‐H₆do2a2p, H₆ L ) with transition metal and lanthanide(III) ions were investigated. The stability constant values of the divalent and trivalent metal‐ion complexes are between the corresponding values of H₄dota and H₈dotp complexes, as a consequence of the ligand basicity. The solid‐state structures of the ligand and of nine lanthanide(III) complexes were determined by X‐ray diffraction. All the complexes are present as twisted‐square‐antiprismatic isomers and their structures can be divided into two series. The first one involves nona‐coordinated complexes of the large lanthanide(III) ions (Ce, Nd, Sm) with a coordinated water molecule. In the series of Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Er, Yb, the complexes are octa‐coordinated only by the ligand donor atoms and their coordination cages are more irregular. The formation kinetics and the acid‐assisted dissociation of several Ln^III–H₆ L complexes were investigated at different temperatures and compared with analogous data for complexes of other dota‐like ligands. The [Ce( L )(H₂O)]^3? complex is the most kinetically inert among complexes of the investigated lanthanide(III) ions (Ce, Eu, Gd, Yb). Among mixed phosphonate–acetate dota analogues, kinetic inertness of the cerium(III) complexes is increased with a higher number of phosphonate arms in the ligand, whereas the opposite is true for europium(III) complexes. According to the ¹H NMR spectroscopic pseudo‐contact shifts for the Ce–Eu and Tb–Yb series, the solution structures of the complexes reflect the structures of the [Ce(H L )(H₂O)]^2? and [Yb(H L )]^2? anions, respectively, found in the solid state. However, these solution NMR spectroscopic studies showed that there is no unambiguous relation between ³¹P/¹H lanthanide‐induced shift (LIS) values and coordination of water in the complexes; the values rather express a relative position of the central ions between the N₄ and O₄ planes.     

Preparation of Complexes of Copper (II) Aryl Carboxylates with Morpholine

Complexes of copper (II) aryl carboxylates with morpholine were prepared by the interaction of the copper carboxylate with the morpholine equimolar as well as in large excess quantities in acetone medium. The complexes isolated correspond to 1:1 and 1:2 stoichiometry. In continuation of our work on the preparation of complexes of copper (II) aryl carboxylates with nitrogen donors like aliphatic amines,¹⁾ heterocyclic amines²⁾ and pyridine–N–Oxide³⁾, the present communication deals with the preparation of complexes of copper (II) aryl carboxylates with morpholine.     

Lanthanide(III) Complexes of 2‐[4,7,10‐Tris(phosphonomethyl)‐1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecan‐1‐yl]acetic Acid (H7DOA3P): Multinuclear‐NMR and Kinetic Studies

The protonation constants of 2‐[4,7,10‐tris(phosphonomethyl)‐1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecan‐1‐yl]acetic acid (H₇DOA3P) and of the complexes [Ln(DOA3P)]^4? (Ln=Ce, Pr, Sm, Eu, and Yb) have been determined by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy in the range pD 2–13.8, without control of ionic strength. Seven out of eleven protonation steps were detected (pK =13.66, 12.11, 7.19, 6.15, 5.77, 2.99, and 1.99), and the values found compare well with the ones recently determined by potentiometry for H₇DOA3P, and for other related ligands. The overall basicity of H₇DOA3P is higher than that of H₄DOTA and trans‐H₆DO2A2P but lower than that of H₈DOTP. Based on multinuclear‐NMR spectroscopy, the protonation sequence for H₇DOA3P was also tentatively assigned. Three protonation constants (pK_MHL, pK_MH2L, and pK_MH3L) were determined for the lanthanide complexes, and the values found are relatively high, although lower than the protonation constants of the related ligand (pK , pK , and pK ), indicating that the coordinated phosphonate groups in these complexes are protonated. The acid‐assisted dissociation of [Ln(DOA3P)]^4? (Ln=Ce, Eu), in the region c_H+=0.05–3.00 mol dm^?3 and at different temperatures (25–60°), indicated that they have slightly the same kinetic inertness, being the [Eu(H₂O)₉]³⁺ aqua ion the final product for europium. The rates of complex formation for [Ln(DOA3P)]^4? (Ln=Ce, Eu) were studied by UV/VIS spectroscopy in the pH range 5.6–6.8. The reaction intermediate [Eu(DOA3P)]* as ‘out‐of‐cage’ complex contains four H₂O molecules, while the final product, [Eu(DOA3P)]^4?, does not contain any H₂O molecule, as proved by steady‐state/time‐resolved luminescence spectroscopy.     

Synthesis,structures and properties of ternary rare earth complexes with fluorobenzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

Three dimeric rare-earth complexes [Eu(p-FBA)₃(phen)(H₂O)]₂ (1), [Tb(p-FBA)₃phen]₂ (2), and [Tb(o-FBA)₃phen]₂ (3) (where p-FBA = p-fluorobenzoate, o-FBA = o-fluorobenzoate, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were synthesized and structurally characterized. All are neutral dimeric molecules. Complex 1 crystallizes in triclinic system, space group P 1. Each Eu(III) ion is eight-coordinate with one 1,10-phenanthroline, one monodentate carboxylate, one water and four bridging carboxylates. Complex 2 crystallizes in triclinic system, space group P 1. Each Tb(III) is also eight-coordinate with one 1,10-phenanthroline molecule, one bidentate chelating carboxylate and four bridging carboxylates. Complex 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c and consists of two crystallographically different binuclear molecules. Tb(III) ions are eight-coordinate with one 1,10-phenanthroline, one bidentate chelating carboxylate and four bridging carboxylates in both of them. Complex 1 shows bright red luminescence, 2 and 3 show green luminescence under UV light at room temperature. Thermal analysis indicates that are all quite stable to heat.     

A Series of New Eu/Tb Mixed MOFs with Tunable Color Luminescence

Two isostructural lanthanide metal‐organic frameworks [Ln‐MOFs, Ln = Tb ( 1 ), Eu ( 8 )] containing oxalic acid ligand with green, red luminescence were solvothermally synthesized. A series of Eu/Tb mixed MOFs ( 2 – 7 ), (C₅H₆N)₂[Eu_xTb_2–x(H₂O)₂(C₂O₄)₄] · 2H₂O, were designed and obtained, which displayed highly tunable luminescence color by adjusting the excitation wavelength. Complexes 1 – 8 were characterized by IR, elemental analysis, ICP, powder XRD, and TG measurements. The quantum yields of the complexes 1 – 8 range from 6.89 to 4.15 %, whereas the fluorescence lifetime of 1 – 8 varies between 1.12 and 0.87 ms. Therefore, with the increase of the molar ratio of Eu, the quantum yields and fluorescence lifetime of the complexes 1 – 8 gradually decrease.
