Synthesis and properties of lanthanide(III) complexes with 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid

Complexes of yttrium(III) and lanthanides(III) with 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic (syringic) acid were obtained as solids with metal to ligand mole ratio of 1: 3. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction patterns, solubility, and thermal studies. The complexes are sparingly soluble in water and stable at room temperature. Compounds of light lanthanides (from La to Nd) are hydrated and they crystallize in a triclinic system. When heated, they lose water molecules in one step and in the next step they decompose to oxides. Complexes of yttrium and other lanthanides are anhydrous and crystallize in a monoclinic system. They are stable up to 300°C and then decompose to oxides. As the coordination number of lanthanide ions is usually equal to 9 or 8, one can suppose that hydroxy or methoxy groups take part in the coordination of these metal ions.     

X-ray studies of lanthanide(III) complexes with 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate anion

Polycrystalline complexes of lanthanide(III) with 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid were obtained as hydrated compounds of general formula Ln(C₈H₇O₄)₃?·?nH₂O. After slow recrystallization we obtained single crystals of complexes and determined their structures. Praseodymium(III) and neodymium(III) form isostructural dihydrated complexes [Ln(C₈H₇O₄)₃(H₂O)₂], which crystallize in the triclinic system, space group P 1. Sm(III), Eu(III), Gd(III), Ho(III) and Tb(III) compounds are hexahydrates and also crystallize in the triclinic system, space group P 1. Dihydrated compounds form polymeric chains with metal centres linked by oxygen atoms of bridging carboxylates. Each metal ion is coordinated by chelating carboxylic group and two water molecules. Complexes of the second isostructural group form dinuclear units [Ln₂(C₈H₇O₄)₆(H₂O)₄]?·?8H₂O. Lanthanide(III) ions are linked by oxygen atoms of two chelating–bridging carboxylate groups. In the dimeric structure each metal ion coordinates additionally two chelating carboxylic groups and two water molecules.     

Thermal properties of lanthanide(III) complexes with 2-aminoterephthalic ACID

The complexes of yttrium(III) and lanthanides(III) with 2-aminoterephthalic acid form the isostructural series of triclinic compounds with a space group P from La to Lu and they have the general formula of Ln₂(C₈H₅O₄N)₃·8H₂O. On heating in air or inert gas atmosphere they lose all water molecules in the temperature range 50–200°C in one or two steps. The anhydrous compounds are stable from 360 to 435°C and then decompose to oxides.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of yttrium(III) and lanthanide(III) complexes with a new terpyridine-like ligand 2,4-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)- 6-diethylamino-1,3,5-triazine

A new planar aromatic tridentate terpyridine-like ligand, 2,4-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-6-diethylamino-1,3,5-triazine (L), has been synthesized and the structures of its complexes [YL(NO₃)₃] (1) and [LnL(NO₃)₃(H₂O)]L [Ln?=?La (2), Ce (3), Pr (4), Nd (5), Eu (6)] have been determined by X-ray crystal structural analysis. The structures of the five lanthanoid complexes are isomorphous and isostructural but different from the crystal structure of the yttrium complex [YL(NO₃)₃]. The latter shows a nine-coordinate metal center whereas the crystal structure of the lanthanoid complexes [LnL(NO₃)₃(H₂O)]L show a 10-coordinate metal center. The?π–π?stacking and hydrogen bonding between the coordinated and uncoordinated L molecules sensitized the Ln luminescence. The thermal behavior of the ligand and its complexes is discussed.     

Synthesis and magnetism of μ-isophthalato dinuclear lanthanide(III) complexes

Seven new μ-isophthalato dinuclear lanthanide(III) complexes, namely [Ln₂(IPHTA)(Me₂-phen)₄-(ClO₄)₂](ClO₄)₂ (Ln=La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Ho, Er), where Me₂-phen denotes 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Me₂-phen), IPHTA represents isophthalate dianion, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, IR, ESR and electronic spectra. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibilities of [ Gd₂ (IPHTA) (Me₂-phen)₄ ( ClO₄ )₂ ] ((ClO₄ )₂ complex were measured in the temperature range of 4–300 K and the observed data were successfully simulated by the equation based on the spin Hamiltonian operator, H = -2JS₁. J₂. giving the exchange parameter J = -0.19 cm^?1. This result is commensurate with a weak antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction between Gd(III)-Gd(III) im within the complex.     

Structures and fluorescence of two new hetero-dinuclear lanthanide(III) complexes derived from a Schiff-base ligand

Two isostructural dinuclear lanthanide(III)/Schiff-base complexes [{Ce_1.5Eu_0.5(clapi)}₂]·2CH₃CN (1) and [{La_1.5Eu_0.5(clapi)}₂]·2CH₃CN (2) {H₃clapi = 2-(5-chloride-2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-bis[4-(5-chloride-2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-azabut-3-enyl]-1,3-imidazolidine} have been prepared by template procedure and characterized by elemental analyses, ICP, IR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Lanthanide ions Ce(III) and Eu(III) in 1, and La(III) and Eu(III) in 2 are disordered with occupancies 0.75 for Ce and 0.25 for Eu in 1; 0.75 for La and 0.25 for Eu in 2. In the compounds, each lanthanide is coordinated to four N and four O atoms from two clapi^3? ligands, forming a distorted square antiprism. Two phenol oxygen atoms from the middle arms of the two heptadentate μ₂-bridging ligands connect the two Ce(Eu) atoms in 1, and La(Eu) in 2. The solution of the two complexes in CH₂Cl₂ exhibits red fluorescence from Eu³⁺ ions at 77 K, very weak at room temperature.     

Synthesis and luminescent properties of the lanthanide isothiocyanate complexes with an amide-type tripodal ligand

Solid complexes of lanthanide isothiocyanates with an amide-type tripodal ligand, 2,2',2'-nitrilotris-(N-phenylmethyl)-acetamide (L) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectra and molar conductivity measurements. At the same time, the luminescent properties of the Sm(III), Eu(III), Tb(III), Dy(III) isothiocyanate complexes in solid state and the Tb(III) complex in solvents were also investigated.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of Ni(II) complexes with the chiral CpH(PNMent) tripod ligand

Treatment of NiCl₂ with the tripod ligand (L_Ment,S_C)-1H led to (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiCl] in which the potentially tridentate ligand coordinated to the metal center in a bidentate way via the cyclopentadienyl system and the phosphorus atom. In the presence of NH₄PF₆ [(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiCl] readily underwent Cl/PPh₃ exchange to give (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiPPh₃]PF₆. Reaction of (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiCl] with 0.5 eq. of dppe afforded [{(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ni]}₂dppe](PF₆)₂. (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiPPh₃]PF₆ and [{(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ni]}₂dppe](PF₆)₂ were characterized by NMR and MS spectroscopy, and also by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The cyclopentadienyl ligand of (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiPPh₃]PF₆ shows a distortion intermediate between the ene-allyl and diene types, while the two cyclopentadienyl ligands of [{(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ni]}₂dppe](PF₆)₂ have intermediate and diene distortions, respectively. According to the temperature dependent NMR spectra of (L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)NiPPh₃]PF₆ and [{(L_Ment,S_C)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ni]}₂dppe](PF₆)₂ two different conformations of the tether in the Cp(PN_Ment)Ni system could be frozen out at low temperatures.     

Synthesis of siloxane-based PAMAM dendrimers and luminescent properties of their lanthanide complexes

The 0.5-2 generations of siloxane-based PAMAM dendrimers with 1, 3-bis(3-aminopropyl) tetramethyldisiloxane (G0) as core unit were synthesized by two different methods. Their structures were characterized by FTIR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, LC/MS, TGA, and DSC. Results show that method two is more suitable as its synthetic procedure is simple and it provides higher yield than method one. DSC analysis indicates that the introduction of the siloxane linkage into the interior of the dendrimers has significant effect on the flexibility of the dendrimer structures. Lanthanide complexes of the newly designed siloxane-based PAMAM dendrimers were obtained by complexing with Eu(III) and Tb(III), respectively. The luminescent properties of the complexes in the solution were investigated. Narrow-width red and green emissions were observed from the complexes of G0.5, G1.5, and G2.0, indicating intramolecular energy transfer process takes place between ligands and lanthanide ions.     

Synthesis,characterization and fluorescent properties of lanthanide complexes with two aryl amide ligands

Two aryl amide ligands, N-(p-tolyl)-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetamide (L¹ ) and N-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetamide (L² ), were synthesized. With these ligands, two series of lanthanide(III) complexes were prepared, Ln(L ⁿ )₂(NO₃)₃ (n = 1, 2; Ln = La, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy), and characterized by the elemental analyses, molar conductivity, ¹H NMR spectra, IR spectra and TG-DTA. The fluorescence properties of the complexes and the triplet state energies of the ligands were studied in detail. In addition, the quantum yields of both Eu(III) complexes and Eu(L⁰)₂(NO₃)₃ [where L⁰ is N-(phenyl)-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetamide] 1 Wu, WN, Yuan, WB, Tang, N, Yang, RD, Yan, L and Xu, ZH. 2006. Spectrochim. Acta A, 65: 912[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar] were calculated. The results indicate that among the lowest triplet energies (T) of the three ligands, that of L² is most suitable to the resonance level (⁵D₁) of Eu(III) ion. Furthermore, Eu(L²)₂(NO₃)₃ has the highest fluorescence intensity and quantum yield of the three Eu(III) complexes.

Synthesis of chiral-at-metal half-sandwich ruthenium(II) complexes with the CpH(PNMent) tripod ligand

Treatment of the chiral tripod ligand (L_Ment,S_C)-CpH(PN_Ment) with (Ph₃P)₃RuCl₂ in ethanol afforded the two chiral-at-metal diastereomers (L_Ment,S_C,R_Ru)- and (L_Ment,S_C,S_Ru)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ru(PPh₃)Cl] (70% de) in which the cyclopentadienyl group and the P atom of the ligand coordinated at the metal center. The (L_Ment,S_C,R_Ru)-diastereomer was isolated by crystallization from ethanol-pentane and its structure was established by X-ray crystallography. The (L_Ment,S_C,R_Ru)-diastereomer epimerized in CDCl₃ solution at 60 °C in a first-order reaction with a half-life of 5.66 h. In alcoholic solution epimerization occurred at room temperature. Substitution of the chloride ligand in (L_Ment,S_C,R_Ru)- and (L_Ment,S_C,S_Ru)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ru(PPh₃)Cl] by nitriles NCR (R = Me, Ph, CH₂Ph) in the presence of NH₄PF₆ gave mixtures of the diastereomers (L_Ment,S_C,R_Ru)- and (L_Ment,S_C,S_Ru)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ru(PPh₃)NCR]PF₆. Treatment of (L_Ment,S_C,R_Ru)- and (L_Ment,S_C,S_Ru)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ru(PPh₃)Cl] with piperidine or morpholine in the presence of NH₄PF₆ led to the chiral-at-metal diastereomers (L_Ment,S_C,R_Ru)- and (L_Ment,S_C,S_Ru)-[Cp(PN_Ment)Ru(PPh₃)NH₃]PF₆ (6% de).     

Synthesis,characterization, optical and anti-bacterial properties of benzothiazole Schiff bases and their lanthanide (III) complexes

Two new Schiff base ligands comprising benzothiazole derivatives, namely (N,N′,E,N,N′E)-N,N′-(1,3-phenylenebis(methanylylidene))bis(5-nitrobenzo[d]thiazoL2-amine (L1) and (N,N′,E,N,N′E)-N,N′-(1,3-phenylene-bis(methanylylidene))bis(5-methylthiazo-L2-amine (L2), have been synthesized and thoroughly characterized using FTIR, ¹H NMR, mass UV/vis and fluorescence spectral techniques.

Synthesis,spectral characterization and crystal structure of copper(II) complexes of 2-hydroxyacetophenone-N(4)-phenyl semicarbazone

Six new copper(II) complexes of 2-hydroxyacetophenone-N(4)-phenyl semicarbazone have been synthesized and physico-chemically characterized. The tridentate character of the semicarbazone is inferred from IR spectra. Based on EPR studies, the spin Hamiltonian and bonding parameters have been calculated. The g   values, calculated for all the complexes in frozen DMF, indicate the presence of the unpaired electron in the d_x2-y2${\text{d}}_{x^2-y^2}$ orbital. The metal–ligand bonding parameters evaluated showed strong in-plane σ and in-plane π-bonding. The structure of the compound, CuLphen has been resolved using single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The crystal structure revealed a monoclinic lattice with space group symmetry P2₁/c. The compound adopts a distorted square pyramidal geometry with a N₂O₂ core as the base.     

Synthesis and characterization of two acetato-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes with 4-bromo-2-((4 or 6-methylpyridin-2-ylimino)methyl)phenol as ligand

The synthesis and characterization of two new acetato-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes are described. Both compounds have the general formula [Cu(L)(µ-O₂C–CH₃)]₂, in which L = 4-bromo-2-((4-methylpyridin-2-ylimino)methyl)phenol or 4-bromo-2-((6-methylpyridin-2-ylimino)methyl)phenol. The title compounds consist of dinuclear units with bridging acetato groups and a ligand linked to each copper via the phenol oxygen and nitrogen. Both compounds were synthesized in a one-step reaction and characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), electron spin resonance (ESR), and electronic spectra and by room temperature magnetic moments. The compounds exhibit antiferromagnetic interactions at room temperature. UV-Vis spectra show four absorptions attributed to d–d transitions of copper, ligand → metal charge transfer and π → π* or n → π* transitions of ligand. The FTIR spectra indicate a Cu₂O₄C₂ ring vibration. Both complexes show room temperature magnetic moments of about 1.6 B.M. per copper. The X-band ESR studies indicate a weak half-field band, characteristic of the Cu(II)–Cu(II) dimer, observed at 1552 and 1558 G for the complexes, strongly suggesting that the hyperfine structure arises from a spin triplet species. The spectra of frozen samples in DMSO or DMF at liquid nitrogen temperature show a typical Δm = 1 transition.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of two copper(II) complexes with coordinated decavanadate ion

Two new compounds containing decavanadate ions coordinated to copper centers, (2-hepH⁺)₂[{Cu(H₂O)₂(O,N-2-hep)}₂V₁₀O₂₈]·6H₂O (2-hepH⁺ = 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridinium; 2-hep = 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridine) (1), [{Cu(2-amp)₂(H₂O)}₂H₂V₁₀O₂₈]·4H₂O (amp = 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine) (2), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses and IR spectroscopy. The structure of 1 consists of trinuclear units [{Cu(H₂O)₂(O,N-2-hep)}₂V₁₀O₂₈]²⁻, 2-hepH⁺ cations and molecules of water of crystallization. A trinuclear unit [{Cu(2-amp)₂(H₂O)}₂H₂V₁₀O₂₈] is a principal part also in the structure of 2, but the bonds of decavanadate group to the copper complexes are much weaker than in 1.     

Thermodynamics, structure and properties of polynuclear lanthanide complexes with a tripodal ligand: insight into their self-assembly

Self-assembly processes between a tripodal ligand and Ln(III) cations have been investigated by means of supramolecular analytical methods. At an equimolar ratio of components, tetranuclear tetrahedral complexes are readily formed in acetonitrile. The structural analysis of the crystallographic data shows a helical wrapping of binding strands around metallic cations. The properties of this series of highly charged 3D compounds were examined by using NMR spectroscopy and optical methods in solution and in the solid state. In the presence of excess metal, a new trinuclear complex was identified. The X-ray crystal structure elucidated the coordination of metallic cations with two ligands of different conformations. By varying the metal/ligand ratio, a global speciation of this supramolecular system has been evidenced with different spectroscopic methods. In addition, these rather complicated equilibria were successfully characterised with the thermodynamic stability constants. A rational analysis of the self-assembly processes was attempted by using the thermodynamic free energy model and the impact of the ligand structure on the effective concentration is discussed.     

Synthesis,structural characterization,and thermal properties of monomeric (Mn,Co, Ni,and Zn) and polymeric (Cd) complexes of thiocyanates with benzyl carbazate as an ancillary ligand

Abstract

Five complexes [M(NCS)₂(bc)₂] M?=?Mn (1), Co (2), Ni (3), Zn (4), and [Cd(NCS)₂(bc)]_n (5), (bc) = benzyl carbazate (benzyl hydrazinecarboxylate), have been synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. The crystal structures of all five complexes have been confirmed by X-ray structural analysis. These results confirm that 1–4 are isotypes, and all four are centrosymmetric, with two mutually trans N,O chelating (bc) ligands in equatorial positions and a pair of trans-thiocyanate anions in the axial positions. The cadmium complex (5) is a coordination polymer. The asymmetric unit contains a square planar CdN₂OS core, in which the (bc) ligand adopts an N, O bidentate coordination mode together with N and S bound thiocyanato anions. Polymer expansion increases the coordination number to six with the N and S bound thiocyanate ligands linking two adjacent complexes. This expansion results in double layers of cadmium octahedra propagating along the c axis direction. The thermal analyses of these compounds show endothermic decomposition processes to give respective metal thiocyanates as intermediates. For the Mn, Co, Ni, and Zn compounds these intermediates decompose exothermically to form metal oxides, whereas the Cd complex forms cadmium sulfide as the end product.     

Thermal properties of lanthanide(III) complexes with 5-amino-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid

The complexes of yttrium(III) and lanthanides(III) with 5-amino-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid form two isostructural series of compounds and have the general formula Ln₂(C₈H₅O₄N)₃·nH₂O, where n = 13 for Y, La-Er and n=9 for Tm, Yb, Lu. They are insoluble in water and stable at room temperature. On heating in air or inert gas atmosphere they lose all water molecules in several steps. The anhydrous compounds are stable to about 400°C and next decompose to oxides.
