Studies on hydrolytic polymerization of rare-earth metal ions-V Hydrolytic polymerization of Dy(3+)

The hydrolytic polymerization of Dy(3+) was determined by the equilibrium-pH method. The concentration of Dy(3+) was varied from 0.1 to 0.6M. The composition and hydrolysis constants of the Dy(3+) hydrolysis products were obtained by a graphical method and then refined by computer fitting and pq analysis. The results show that the species in the Dy(3+) solution are Dy(OH)](2+), [Dy(2)(OH)(2)](4+) and [Dy(3)(OH)(3)](6+), but the last of these is a minor species. The behaviour of Dy(3+) is the same as that of Er(3+) and Yb(3+) but different from that of the medium lanthanide ions Sm(3+), Eu(3+) and Gd(3+).     

Synthesis and fluorescence properties of rare earth (Eu3+ and Gd3+) complexes with alpha-naphthylacetic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

Rare earth binary complex Eu(NNA)3 (NNA, alpha-naphthylacetic acid), ternary complex Eu(NNA)3.phen (phen, 1,10-phenanthroline) and a series of dinuclear complexes with different mole ratios of Eu3+ to Gd3+ were synthesized. Many advanced approaches, such as element analysis, FTIR spectra, TG and DTA analysis, were used to determine the composition and structure of binary and ternary complex. Moreover, their fluorescence properties were studied by fluorescent spectra and lifetimes. The fluorescence spectra and decay curves of dinuclear complexes indicated that the fluorescence emission intensity was enhanced and the fluorescence lifetime was prolonged by Gd3+. The dinuclear complexes show the best properties when the mole ratio of Eu3+ to Gd3+ is 6:4. A new parameter Y, which was used to evaluate the effect of Gd3+, was introduced. In addition, the relationship of Y value and mole fraction of Gd3+ was analyzed by mathematical software. The results showed that Y value decreased by single exponential mode when the content of Gd3+ decreased.

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Characterization of Pyrochlore Titanate R2Ti2O7(R=Gd3+, Tb3+, Dy3+)

Pyrochlore titanate oxides, R2Ti2O7(R=Gd3+, Tb3+, Dy3+), were synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions. The crystal growth of pyrochlore titanate oxides and taking place of chemical reaction in the hydrothermal processing were sensitive to the alkalinity, temperature, reaction time, the nature of the rare earth ion and the composition of initial reaction mixture. The as-prepared samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectrum and variable temperature dc magnetic susceptibility(SQUIDS). The magnetic studies gave 7.29×10–23 A•m2/Gd3+ and –8.28 K, 8.75×10–23 A•m2 /Tb3+ and –19.7 K, and 8.85×10–23 A•m2/Dy3+ and 0.84 K effective moments and Weiss constants for Gd2Ti2O7, Tb2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7, respectively.     

Synthesis and characterization of heterodinuclear Ln(3+)-Fe3+ and Ln(3+)-Co3+ complexes,bridged by cyanide ligand (Ln3+ = lanthanide ions). Nature of the magnetic interaction in the Ln(3+)-Fe3+ complexes

The reaction of Ln(NO3)3.aq with K3[Fe(CN)6] or K3[Co(CN)6] in N,N'-dimethylformamide (DMF) led to 25 heterodinuclear [Ln(DMF)4(H2O)3(mu-CN)Fe(CN)5].nH2O and [Ln(DMF)4(H2O)3(mu-CN)Co(CN)5].nH2O complexes (with Ln = all the lanthanide(III) ions, except promethium and lutetium). Five complexes (Pr(3+)-Fe3+), (Tm(3+)-Fe3+), (Ce(3+)-Co3+), (Sm(3+)-Co3+), and (Yb(3+)-Co3+) have been structurally characterized; they crystallize in the equivalent monoclinic space groups P21/c or P21/n. Structural studies of these two families show that they are isomorphous. This relationship in conjunction with the diamagnetism of the Co3+ allows an approximation to the nature of coupling between the iron(III) and the lanthanide(III) ions in the [Ln(DMF)4(H2O)3(mu-CN)Fe(CN)5].nH2O complexes. The Ln(3+)-Fe3+ interaction is antiferromagnetic for Ln = Ce, Nd, Gd, and Dy and ferromagnetic for Ln = Tb, Ho, and Tm. For Ln = Pr, Eu, Er, Sm, and Yb, there is no sign of any significant interaction. The isotropic nature of Gd3+ helps to evaluate the value of the exchange interaction.

Preparation of Gd(2)O(3) : Eu(3+) and Gd(2)O(2)S : Eu(3+) phosphor fine particles using an emulsion liquid membrane system

Size- (submicrometer-sized) and morphology- (spherical) controlled composite Gd-Eu oxalate particles were prepared in an emulsion liquid membrane (water-in-oil-in-water emulsion) system. The oxalate particles thus prepared were calcined in air to obtain Gd(2)O(3) : Eu(3+) phosphor particles and in sulfur atmosphere to obtain Gd(2)O(2)S : Eu(3+) phosphor particles. These submicrometer-sized spherical phosphor particles showed photoluminescence properties with emission peak at 614 nm for Gd(2)O(3) : Eu(3+) and 628 nm for Gd(2)O(2)S : Eu(3+).     

Luminescence Properties of Dy3+ Doped EuAl3(BO3)4 Crystals

EuAl3(BO3)4 and Dy3+:EuAl3(BO3)4 crystals were synthesized and their luminescence properties were studied. The EuAl3(BO3)4 crystals have strong red emission. In the Dy3+ doped EuAl3(BO3)4 crystals, the Dy3+ strongly sensitized the luminescence of the Eu3+. A resonance mechanism of the energy transfer was suggested. The optimum Dy3+ concentration of the sensitization effect was 0.2. When the Dy3+ concentration was higher than 0.2, the quick drop of the Eu3+ 613 nm emission for DyxEu1-xAl3(BO3)4 was attributed to the Dy3+ concentration quenching effect.     

Luminescence and energy transfer of Ce~(3+) and Dy~(3+) in BaLaB_9O_(16)

Synthesis, structure, and thermally stable luminescence of Eu(2+)-doped Ba2Ln(BO3)2Cl (Ln = Y, Gd and Lu) host compounds

A new family of chloroborate compounds, which was investigated from the viewpoint of rare earth ion activated phosphor materials, have been synthesized by a conventional high temperature solid-state reaction. The crystal structure and thermally stable luminescence of chloroborate phosphors Ba(2)Ln(BO(3))(2)Cl:Eu(2+) (Ln = Y, Gd, and Lu) have been reported in this paper. X-ray diffraction studies verify the successful isomorphic substitution for Ln(3+) sites in Ba(2)Ln(BO(3))(2)Cl by other smaller trivalent rare earth ions, such as Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb. The detailed structure information for Ba(2)Ln(BO(3))(2)Cl (Ln = Y, Gd, and Lu) by Rietveld analysis reveals that they all crystallize in a monoclinic P2(1)/m space group. These compounds display interesting and tunable photoluminescence (PL) properties after Eu(2+)-doping. Ba(2)Ln(BO(3))(2)Cl:Eu(2+) phosphors exhibit bluish-green/greenish-yellow light with peak wavelengths at 526, 548, and 511 nm under 365 UV light excitation for Ba(2)Y(BO(3))(2)Cl:Eu(2+), Ba(2)Gd(BO(3))(2)Cl:Eu(2+), and Ba(2)Lu(BO(3))(2)Cl:Eu(2+), respectively. Furthermore, they possess a high thermal quenching temperature. With the increase of temperature, the emission bands show blue shifts with broadening bandwidths and slightly decreasing emission intensities. It is expected that this series of chloroborate phosphors can be used in white-light UV-LEDs as a good wavelength-conversion phosphor.     

Synthesis, structures, and magnetic properties of face-sharing heterodinuclear Ni(II)-Ln(III) (Ln = Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy) complexes

Heterodinuclear [(Ni (II)L)Ln (III)(hfac) 2(EtOH)] (H 3L = 1,1,1-tris[(salicylideneamino)methyl]ethane; Ln = Eu, Gd, Tb, and Dy; hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate) complexes ( 1.Ln) were prepared by treating [Ni(H 1.5L)]Cl 0.5 ( 1) with [Ln(hfac) 3(H 2O) 2] and triethylamine in ethanol (1:1:1). All 1.Ln complexes ( 1.Eu, 1.Gd, 1.Tb, and 1.Dy) crystallized in the triclinic space group P1 (No. 2) with Z = 2 with very similar structures. Each complex is a face-sharing dinuclear molecule. The Ni (II) ion is coordinated by the L (3-) ligand in a N 3O 3 coordination sphere, and the three phenolate oxygen atoms coordinate to an Ln (III) ion as bridging atoms. The Ln (III) ion is eight-coordinate, with four oxygen atoms of two hfac (-)'s, three phenolate oxygen atoms of L (3-), and one ethanol oxygen atom coordinated. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility and field-dependent magnetization measurements showed a ferromagnetic interaction between Ni (II) and Gd (III) in 1.Gd. The Ni (II)-Ln (III) magnetic interactions in 1.Eu, 1.Tb, and 1.Dy were evaluated by comparing their magnetic susceptibilities with those of the isostructural Zn (II)-Ln (III) complexes, [(ZnL)Ln(hfac) 2(EtOH)] ( 2.Ln) containing a diamagnetic Zn (II) ion. A ferromagnetic interaction was indicated in 1.Tb and 1.Dy, while the interaction between Ni (II) and Eu (III) was negligible in 1.Eu. The magnetic behaviors of 1.Dy and 2.Dy were analyzed theoretically to give insight into the sublevel structures of the Dy (III) ion and its coupling with Ni (II). Frequency dependence in the ac susceptibility signals was observed in 1.Dy.

Highly luminescent Eu(3+) and Tb(3+) macrocyclic complexes bearing an appended phenanthroline chromophore

A two-component ligand system (1) containing 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (DO3A) as the hosting unit for the lanthanide cations and an appended asymmetrically functionalized 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) as the chromophore was synthesized. The 1:1 complexes with Eu(3+), Gd(3+), Tb(3+), and Yb(3+) have been prepared and studied in aqueous solution. For Gd.1, a relaxivity value of 2.4 mM(-1) s(-1) has been measured at 20 MHz and 25 degrees C, which indicates that there are no water molecules in the first coordination sphere of the metal ion. The analysis of high resolution (1)H NMR spectra of Yb.1 supports this view and suggests the direct involvement of the phen moiety in the coordination of the metal ion. For Eu.1 and Tb.1, the absorption and luminescence spectra, the overall luminescence efficiencies, and the metal-centered (MC) lifetimes were obtained; coordination features were also determined by comparing luminescence properties in water and deuterated water. For Eu.1 and Tb.1, the overall emission sensitization (se) process in air-equilibrated water was found to be notably effective with phi(se) = 0.21 and 0.11, respectively. A detailed study of the steps originating from light absorption at the phen unit and leading to MC sensitized emission was performed.     

单掺杂与共掺杂离子对Sr2Mg(BO3)2磷光体热释发光的影响

通过高温固相法合成了Sr2Mg(BO3)2磷光体, 并研究了Li＋, Bi3＋, Gd3＋, Ti4＋共掺杂对Sr2Mg(BO3)2∶Dy磷光体热释发光的影响. 研究发现: Li＋的共掺杂使Sr2Mg(BO3)2∶Dy磷光体的热释光主峰强度增加, 而 Bi3＋, Gd3＋或Ti4＋的掺入使样品的热释光强度降低. 在Li＋, Bi3＋, Gd3＋或Ti4＋共掺杂的Sr2Mg(BO3)2∶Dy磷光体高温热释光发射谱中, 我们观察到了480, 579, 662和755 nm的发射峰, 为特征Dy3＋离子的4F9/2→6H15/2, 4F9/2→6H13/2, 4F9/2→6H11/2和4F9/2→6H9/2跃迁, 与Sr2Mg(BO3)2∶Dy磷光体的发射一致. 利用峰形法, 我们评估了Sr2Mg(BO3)2∶ , ( )热释光磷光体234 ℃发光峰的动力学参数, 陷阱深度E＝1.1 eV, 频率因子s＝6.3×109 s－1, 遵循二级动力学.     

白色荧光粉NaGd（MoO4）2:Dy3+,Eu3+的水热合成及发光性能

采用谷氨酸辅助水热法合成了八面体形NaGd(MoO4)2:Dy3+,Eu3+白色荧光粉.X射线衍射结果表明,合成的样品为四方晶系的NaGd(MoO4)2纯相.扫描电子显微镜照片显示所制备的粒子为八面体形,各边长约为2μm.荧光光谱结果表明,在NaGd(MoO4)2:4%Dy3+,yEu3+(y=0,0.5%,0.6%,0.7%,0.8%,0.9%,1.0%)样品中,随着Eu3+掺入量的增加,Dy3+的发射峰逐渐减弱,而Eu3+的发射峰逐渐增强,说明Dy3+-Eu3+之间存在能量传递.通过色坐标图可知,当Eu3+掺杂量y=0.9%时,荧光粉的色坐标(0.338,0.281)与标准的白光色坐标(0.33,0.33)接近,表明NaGd(MoO4)2:4%Dy3+,0.9%Eu3+是很好的近紫外光激发下的白色荧光粉.

Separating Ag, B, Cd, Dy, Eu, and Sm in a Gd matrix using 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester extraction chromatography for ICP-AES analysis

The separation procedure for Ag, B, Cd, Dy, Eu and Sm as impurities in Gd matrix using ICP-AES technique with an extraction chromatographic column has been developed. The spectral interference of the Gd matrix on the elements was eliminated using a chromatography technique with 2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (PC-88A) as the mobile phase and XAD-16 resin as the stationary phase. Ag⁺, B₄O₇²⁻, and Cd²⁺ were eluted with 0.1 M HNO₃, while rare earth ions were not. The best eluent for separating Eu and Sm in the Gd matrix was 0.3 M HNO₃. The limit of quantitation for these elements was 0.6-3.0 ng mL⁻¹. The recovery of Ag, B, and Cd was 90-104% using 0.1 M HNO₃ as the eluent, while that of Eu, Gd, and Sm ranged from 100 to 102% with 0.3 M HNO₃. Dy was recovered quantitatively with 4 M HNO₃. The relative standard deviation of the methods for a set of three replicates was between 1.0 and 15.4% for the synthetic and standard Gd solutions. The proposed separation procedure was used to measure Ag, B, Cd, Dy, Eu, and Sm in a standard Gd solution.     

Luminescence tuning of imidazole-based lanthanide(III) complexes [Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy

To tune the lanthanide luminescence in related molecular structures, we synthesized and characterized a series of lanthanide complexes with imidazole-based ligands: two tripodal ligands, tris{[2-{(1-methylimidazol-2-yl)methylidene}amino]ethyl}amine (Me(3)L), and tris{[2-{(imidazol-4-yl)methylidene}amino]ethyl}amine (H(3)L), and the dipodal ligand bis{[2-{(imidazol-4-yl)methylidene}amino]ethyl}amine (H(2)L). The general formulas are [Ln(Me(3)L)(H(2)O)(2)](NO(3))(3)·3H(2)O (Ln = 3+ lanthanide ion: Sm (1), Eu (2), Gd (3), Tb (4), and Dy (5)), [Ln(H(3)L)(NO(3))](NO(3))(2)·MeOH (Ln(3+) = Sm (6), Eu (7), Gd (8), Tb (9), and Dy (10)), and [Ln(H(2)L)(NO(3))(2)(MeOH)](NO(3))·MeOH (Ln(3+) = Sm (11), Eu (12), Gd (13), Tb (14), and Dy (15)). Each lanthanide ion is 9-coordinate in the complexes with the Me(3)L and H(3)L ligands and 10-coordinate in the complexes with the H(2)L ligand, in which counter anion and solvent molecules are also coordinated. The complexes show a screw arrangement of ligands around the lanthanide ions, and their enantiomorphs form racemate crystals. Luminescence studies have been carried out on the solid and solution-state samples. The triplet energy levels of Me(3)L, H(3)L, and H(2)L are 21?000, 22?700, and 23?000 cm(-1), respectively, which were determined from the phosphorescence spectra of their Gd(3+) complexes. The Me(3)L ligand is an effective sensitizer for Sm(3+) and Eu(3+) ions. Efficient luminescence of Sm(3+), Eu(3+), Tb(3+), and Dy(3+) ions was observed in complexes with the H(3)L and H(2)L ligands. Ligand modification by changing imidazole groups alters their triplet energy, and results in different sensitizing ability towards lanthanide ions.
