Organometallic Compounds of the Lanthanides. 88. Monomeric Lanthanide(III) Amides: Synthesis and X-Ray Crystal Structure of [Nd{N(C₆H₅)(SiMe₃)}₃(THF)], [Li(THF)₂(μ-Cl)₂Nd{N(C₆H₃Me₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)}₂(THF)], and [ClNd{N(C₆H₃-iso-Pr₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)} ₂(THF)] A series of lanthanide(III) amides [Ln{N(C₆H₅) · (SiMe₃)}₃(THF)_x] [Ln = Y ( 1 ), La ( 2 ), Nd ( 3 ), Sm ( 4 ), Eu ( 5 ), Tb ( 6 ), Er ( 8 ), Yb ( 9 ), Lu ( 10 )] could be prepared by the reaction of lanthanide trichlorides, LnCl₃, with LiN(C₆H₅)(SiMe₃). Treatment of NdCl₃(THF)₂ and LuCl₃(THF)₃ with the lithium salts of the bulky amides [N(C₆H₃R₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)]^? (R = Me, iso-Pr) results in the formation of the lanthanide diamides [Li(THF)₂(μ-Cl)₂Nd{N(C₆H₃Me₂-2, 6)(SiMe₃)}₂(THF)] ( 11 ) and [ClLn{N(C₆H₃-iso-Pr₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)} ₂(THF)] [Ln = Nd ( 12 ), Lu ( 13 )], respectively. The ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR and mass spectra of the new compounds as well as the X-ray crystal structures of the neodymium derivatives 3 , 11 and 12 are discussed.     

Metallotricycle of Lanthanide Supported by a Bridging Diamide: Syntheses and Molecular Structures of {Li(THF)3[LnCl(μ2-trans-1,2-(NSiMe3)2C6H10)(μ2-Cl)]}2•2THF (Ln＝Yb, Nd)

The reactions of dilithium salt of trans-1,2-bis（trimethylsilylamino）cyclohexane with anhydrous lanthanide trichlorides LnCl3 （Ln = Yb, Nd） in THF afforded the dianionic binuclear tricycles of lanthanide chlorides {Li（THF）3[LnCl（μ2-trans-1,2-（NSiMe3）2C6H10）（μ2-Cl）]}2·2THF （Ln=Yb 1, Nd 2） in moderate yields. Both of the bridged complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal structural analysis shows that the two complexes are the analogues which have a tricyclic framework built by two bridged lanthanide metals, four nitrogens and four carbons from two diamide ligands. Each lanthanide metal coordinates to three nitrogen atoms and two chlorines to form a distorted trigonal bipyramid and connects with a lithium by a bridging chlorine.     

Lanthanide perchlorate complexes of 4-cyano pyridine-N-oxide, 4-chloro 2-picoline-N-oxide and 4-dimethyl amino-2-picoline-N-oxide

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).

The structure of 1 is discussed.     

Synthesis and Structure of 1—Cyclopentylindenyl Lanthanide（Ⅱ）Complexes and Their Catalytic Behavior for Polymerization of Acrylonitrile

The reaction between K(1‐C₅H₉C₉H₆) and anhydrous LnCl₃ (Ln=Sm, Yb) in the molar ratio of 2:1 in THF with subsequent treatment by Na‐K alloy afforded (1‐C₅H₉C₉H₆)₂Ln‐(THF)_n(Ln=Sm, n=1; Ln=Yb, n=2), while the reaction of Sml₂ with K(1‐C₅H₉C₉H₆) in the molar ratio of 1:2 in THF gave the anionic complex K(1‐C₅H₉C₉H₆)₃Sm(THF)₃. The X‐ray structure of (1‐C₅H₉C₉H₆)₂Yb(THF)₂ showed that central metal Yb is coordinated by two cyclopentadienyl rings of 1‐cyclopentylindenyls and two oxygen atoms from two tetrahydrofuran molecules to form pseudo‐tetrahedral coordinate geometry. All these complexes are active for the polymerization of acrylonitrile.     

2,2′‐Bipyrimidine as Efficient Sensitizer of the Solid‐State Luminescence of Lanthanide and Uranyl Ions from Visible to Near‐Infrared

Treatment of Ln(NO₃)₃?nH₂O with 1 or 2 equiv 2,2′‐bipyrimidine (BPM) in dry THF readily afforded the monometallic complexes [Ln(NO₃)₃(bpm)₂] (Ln=Eu, Gd, Dy, Tm) or [Ln(NO₃)₃(bpm)₂]?THF (Ln=Eu, Tb, Er, Yb) after recrystallization from MeOH or THF, respectively. Reactions with nitrate salts of the larger lanthanide ions (Ln=Ce, Nd, Sm) yielded one of two distinct monometallic complexes, depending on the recrystallization solvent: [Ln(NO₃)₃(bpm)₂]?THF (Ln=Nd, Sm) from THF, or [Ln(NO₃)₃(bpm)(MeOH)₂]?MeOH (Ln=Ce, Nd, Sm) from MeOH. Treatment of UO₂(NO₃)₂?6H₂O with 1 equiv BPM in THF afforded the monoadduct [UO₂(NO₃)₂(bpm)] after recrystallization from MeOH. The complexes were characterized by their crystal structure. Solid‐state luminescence measurements on these monometallic complexes showed that BPM is an efficient sensitizer of the luminescence of both the lanthanide and the uranyl ions emitting visible light, as well as of the Yb^III ion emitting in the near‐IR. For Tb, Dy, Eu, and Yb complexes, energy transfer was quite efficient, resulting in quantum yields of 80.0, 5.1, 70.0, and 0.8 %, respectively. All these complexes in the solid state were stable in air.     

Identification of the Structural Boundary between [Ln(18‐crown‐6)(NO3)3] and [Ln(NO3)3(H2O)3] · 18‐crown‐6 Motifs in the Lanthanide Series

Recrystallization of Ln(NO₃)₃ (Ln = Sm, Eu, Yb) in the presence of 18‐crown‐6 under aqueous conditions yielded [Ln(NO₃)₃(H₂O)₃] · 18‐crown‐6. X‐ray crystallography revealed isomorphous structures for each of the lanthanide complexes where [Ln(NO₃)₃(H₂O)₃] is involved in hydrogen bonding interactions with 18‐crown‐6. The transition point where the structural motif changes from [Ln(18‐crown‐6)(NO₃)₃] (with the metal residing in the crown cavity) to [Ln(NO₃)₃(H₂O)₃] · 18‐crown‐6 has been identified as at the Nd/Sm interface. A similar investigation involving [Ln(tos)₃(H₂O)₆] (tos = p‐toluenesulfonate) and 18‐crown‐6 were resistant to crown incorporation. X‐ray studies show extensive intra‐ and intermolecular hydrogen bonding is present.

The crystal structures of Hg(2, 3, 4, 6‐F₄C₆H)₂ (monoclinic, P2₁/n), Hg(2, 3, 5, 6‐F₄C₆H)₂ (monoclinic, C2/m), Hg(2, 4, 6‐F₃C₆H₂)₂ (monoclinic, P2₁/c) and Hg(2, 6‐F₂C₆H₃)₂ (triclinic, P1) are described.     

Synthesis and Structure of Lanthanide Sandwich Complexes with Mixed Cyclooctatetraenyl and Chelating Substituted‐indenyl Ligands

Two types of sandwich complexes (η⁵‐MeOCH₂CH₂C₉H₆) Ln (η⁸‐C₈H₈) (THF)_n [Ln=La (1), Nd(2), n=0; Sm(3), Dy (4) and Er (5). n = l] and (η⁵‐C₄H₇OCH₂C₉H₆)Ln(η⁸‐C₈H₈) (THF) [Ln = La (6), Nd(7). Sm(8). Dy (9) and Er (10)] were synthesized by the reactions of LnCl₃ with equivalent mole of K₂C₈H₈, followed by treatment with corresponding potassium salt of ether‐substituted indenide. The molecular structures of 3 and 8 were determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. (η⁵ ‐MeOCH₂CH₂C₉H₆) Sm (η⁸‐C₈H₈) (THF) (3) monoclinic.

Heteroleptic polypyrazolylborate derivatives of the lanthanide ions. The synthesis of acetylacetonate derivatives and the molecular structures of [Ln{HB(C3N2H3)3}2{MeC(O)CHC(O)Me}] (Ln = Ce,Yb)

The air and moisture stable complexes [Ln{HB(C₃N₂H₃)₃}₂{MeC(O)CHC(O)Me}] (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Yb, Lu, Y), have been prepared and characterized. The molecular structures of the compounds with Ln = Ce and Yb reveal that a substantial distortion of the coordination geometry found for Ce³⁺ is necessary to allow the ligand set to accommodate the smaller Yb³⁺ ion.     

Lanthanocene Diolate Complexes: Synthesis,Structures and Catalytic Property for ε-Caprolactone Polymerization

Reaction of LnCl₃ first with three equivalent of C₅H₅Na in THF, then with one equivalent of N‐phenyldiethanolamine in THF‐DME afforded complexes of {[(C₅H₅)Ln((‐OCH₂CH₂)₂N(C₆H₅)]₄((₄‐Cl)}[Na(DME)₄] (Ln=Sm ( 1 ), Yb ( 2 )), being characterized by infrared spectra, elemental analyses and X‐ray crystallography. They are ionic pair compounds. The anionic part is a cluster, which can be viewed as a cyclic tetramer with four (C₅H₅)Ln units bridged by four pairs of OR groups, forming a pinwheel structure. Both the complexes can catalyze the ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone under mild conditions, and complex 1 is more active than complex 2 . The polymerization accords with one order reaction kinetics for monomer concentration. The molecular weight increases with the yield increasing, and the molecular weight distribution is rather narrow (1.19相似文献

Adducts of aqua complexes of Ln3+ with a symmetrical octamethyl-substituted cucurbituril: potential applications for isolation of heavier lanthanides

Interaction of a series of lanthanide cations (Ln³⁺) with a symmetrical octamethyl-substituted cucurbituril (OMeQ[6]) has been investigated. X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis has revealed that the interaction results in the formation of adducts of OMeQ[6] with aqua complexes of lanthanide cations ([Ln(H₂O)₈]³⁺), Ln = Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Yb in OMeQ[6]–Ln(NO₃)₃–H₂O systems. However, no solid crystals were obtained from systems containing La, Ce, Pr, Nd and Sm. X-ray diffraction analysis has revealed that although the solid adducts fall into two isomorphous groups, there are no significant differences in the interactions between OMeQ[6] and [Ln(H₂O)₈]³⁺ complexes and in the corresponding supramolecular assemblies. Thermodynamic parameters for the interaction between OMeQ[6] and [Ln(H₂O)₈]³⁺ complexes based on isothermal titration calorimetry experiments show two periods corresponding to the above two systems, with the lighter lanthanide cations preferring to remain in solution and the heavier lanthanide cations forming crystalline solids. Electron spectroscopy has shown that interaction of OMeQ[6] with lanthanide cations could provide a means of isolating heavier lanthanide cations from their lighter counterparts.     

Synthesis of ferrocene‐containing N‐aryloxo β‐ketoiminate lanthanide complexes and polymerization of ε‐caprolactone

The synthesis, characterization and ε‐caprolactone polymerization behavior of lanthanide amido complexes stabilized by ferrocene‐containing N‐aryloxo functionalized β‐ketoiminate ligand FcCOCH₂C(Me)N(2‐HO‐5‐Bu^t‐C₆H₃) (LH₂, Fc = ferrocenyl) are described. The lanthanide amido complexes [LLnN(SiMe₃)₂(THF)]₂ [Ln = Nd ( 1 ), Sm ( 2 ), Yb ( 3 ), Y ( 4 )] were synthesized in good yields by the amine elimination reactions of LH₂ with Ln[N(SiMe₃)₂]₃(µ‐Cl)Li(THF)₃ in a 1:1 molar ratio in THF. These complexes were characterized by IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, and ¹H NMR spectroscopy was added for the analysis of complex 4 . The definitive molecular structures of complexes 1 and 3 were determined by X‐ray diffraction studies. Complexes 1 – 4 can initiate the ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone with moderate activity. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Bis(β‐diketiminato) lanthanide amides: synthesis,structure and catalysis for the polymerization of l‐lactide and ε‐caprolactone

Treatment of the chlorides (L^2,6‐iPr2_Ph)₂LnCl (L^2,6‐iPr2_Ph = [(2,6‐ⁱPr₂C₆H₃)NC(Me)CHC(Me)N(C₆H₅)]^?) with 1 equiv. of NaNH(2,6‐ⁱPr₂C₆H₃) afforded the monoamides (L^2,6‐iPr2_Ph)₂LnNH(2,6‐ⁱPr₂C₆H₃) (Ln = Y ( 1 ), Yb ( 2 )) in good yields. Anhydrous LnCl₃ reacted with 2 equiv. of NaL^2,6‐iPr2_Ph in THF, followed by treatment with 1 equiv. of NaNH(2,6‐ⁱPr₂C₆H₃), giving the analogues (L^2,6‐iPr2_Ph)₂LnNH(2,6‐ⁱPr₂C₆H₃) (Ln = Sm ( 3 ), Nd ( 4 )). Two monoamido complexes stabilized by two L^2‐Me ligands, (L^2‐Me)₂LnNH(2,6‐ⁱPr₂C₆H₃) (L^2‐Me = [N(2‐MeC₆H₄)C(Me)]₂CH)^?; Ln = Y ( 5 ), Yb ( 6 )), were also synthesized by the latter route. Complexes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 were fully characterized, including X‐ray crystal structure analyses. Complexes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 are isostructural. The central metal in each complex is ligated by two β‐diketiminato ligands and one amido group in a distorted trigonal bipyramid. All the complexes were found to be highly active in the ring‐opening polymerization of L‐lactide (L‐LA) and ε‐caprolactone (ε‐CL) to give polymers with relatively narrow molar mass distributions. The activity depends on both the central metal and the ligand (Yb < Y < Sm ≈ Nd and L^2‐Me < L^2,6‐iPr2_Ph). Remarkably, the binary 3/benzyl alcohol (BnOH) system exhibited a striking ‘immortal’ nature and proved able to quantitatively convert 5000 equiv. of L‐LA with up to 100 equiv. of BnOH per metal initiator. All the resulting PLAs showed monomodal, narrow distributions (M_w/M_n = 1.06 ? 1.08), with molar mass (M_n) decreasing proportionally with an increasing amount of BnOH. The binary 4/BnOH system also exhibited an ‘immortal’ nature in the polymerization of ε‐CL in toluene. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Rare-earth metal allyl and hydrido complexes supported by an (NNNN)-type macrocyclic ligand: synthesis, structure, and reactivity toward biomass-derived furanics

The preparation and characterization of a series of neutral rare‐earth metal complexes [Ln(Me₃TACD)(η³‐C₃H₅)₂] (Ln=Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) supported by the 1,4,7‐trimethyl‐1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane anion (Me₃TACD^?) are reported. Upon treatment of the neutral allyl complexes [Ln(Me₃TACD)(η³‐C₃H₅)₂] with Brønsted acids, monocationic allyl complexes [Ln(Me₃TACD)(η³‐C₃H₅)(thf)₂][B(C₆X₅)₄] (Ln=La, Ce, Nd, X=H, F) were isolated and characterized. Hydrogenolysis gave the hydride complexes [Ln(Me₃TACD)H₂]_n (Ln=Y, n=3; La, n=4; Sm). X‐ray crystallography showed the lanthanum hydride to be tetranuclear. Reactivity studies of [Ln(Me₃TACD)R₂]_n (R=η³‐C₃H₅, n=0; R=H, n=3,4) towards furan derivatives includes hydrosilylation and deoxygenation under ring‐opening conditions.

For comparison, the achiral compounds [(η⁸‐C₈H₈)Ln{η⁵ : η¹‐C₅H₄CH₂CH₂NMe₂}] (Ln = Sm ( 4 a ), Lu ( 4 b )) are synthesized in an analogous manner. ¹H‐, ¹³C‐NMR‐, and mass spectra of all new compounds as well as the X‐ray crystal structures of 3 b and 4 b are discussed.     

Coordination compounds based on CAPh type ligand: synthesis,structural characteristics and luminescence properties of tetrakis-complexes CsLnL4 with dimethylbenzoylamidophosphate

Searching for prospective luminescent materials, the series of new lanthanide coordination compounds CsLnL₄ (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm – Er, and Yb; L^? = {C₆H₅CONPO(OCH₃)₂}^-) was synthesized. X-ray diffraction studies of CsNdL₄ and CsYbL₄ have been performed establishing polymeric structures of the tetrakis-complexes built from [LnL₄]^? anions and cesium cations functioning as linkers. The IR, absorption, emission, excitation spectra, and decay time measurements at 298 and 77 K, as well as thermal gravimetric analyses, were used to characterize the complexes.     

Light Lanthanide Metallocenium Cations Exhibiting Weak Equatorial Anion Interactions

As the dysprosocenium complex [Dy(Cp^ttt)₂][B(C₆F₅)₄] (Cp^ttt=C₅H₂tBu₃-1,2,4, 1-Dy ) exhibits magnetic hysteresis at 60 K, similar lanthanide (Ln) complexes have been targeted to provide insights into this remarkable property. We recently reported homologous [Ln(Cp^ttt)₂][B(C₆F₅)₄] ( 1-Ln ) for all the heavier Ln from Gd–Lu; herein, we extend this motif to the early Ln. We find, for the largest Ln^III cations, that contact ion pairs [Ln(Cp^ttt)₂{(C₆F₅-κ¹-F)B(C₆F₅)₃}] ( 1-Ln ; La–Nd) are isolated from reactions of parent [Ln(Cp^ttt)₂(Cl)] ( 2-Ln ) with [H(SiEt₃)₂][B(C₆F₅)₄], where the anion binds weakly to the equatorial sites of [Ln(Cp^ttt)₂]⁺ through a single fluorine atom in the solid state. For smaller Sm^III, [Sm(Cp^ttt)₂][B(C₆F₅)₄] ( 1-Sm ) is isolated, which like heavier 1-Ln does not exhibit equatorial anion interactions, but the Eu^III analogue 1-Eu could not be synthesised due to the facile reduction of Eu^III precursors to Eu^II products. Thus with the exception of Eu and radioactive Pm this work constitutes a structurally similar family of Ln metallocenium complexes, over 50 years after the [M(Cp)₂]⁺ series was isolated for the 3d metals.     

Thermal behaviour of hydrated lanthanide complexes with heptanedioic acid

The multi-step dehydration and decomposition of trivalent lanthanum and lanthanide heptanediate polyhydrates were investigated by means of thermal analysis completed with infrared study. Further more, X-ray diffraction data for investigated heptanediate complexes of general stoichiometry Ln₂(C₇H₁₀O₄)₃.nH₂O (wheren=16 in the case of La, Ce, Pr, Nd and Sm pimelates,n=8 for Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er and Tm pimelates,n=12 for Ho, Yb and Lu pimelates) were also reported.
