The interaction of lanthanide(III) ions with two N3O3-macrocycles, L1 and L2, derived from 2,6-bis(2-formylphenoxymethyl)pyridine and 1,2-diaminoethane has been investigated. Schiff-base macrocyclic lanthanide(III) complexes LnL1(NO3)3 · xH2O (Ln = Nd, Sm, Eu or Lu) have been prepared by direct reaction of L1 and the appropriate hydrated lanthanide nitrate. The direct reaction between the diamine macrocycle L2 and the hydrated lanthanide(III) nitrates yields complexes LnL2(NO3)3· H2O only for Ln = Dy or Lu. The reduction of the Schiff-base macrocycle decreases the complexation capacity of the ligand towards the Ln(III) ions. The complexes have been characterised by elemental analysis, molar conductivity data, FAB mass spectrometry, IR and, in the case of the lutetium complexes, 1H NMR spectroscopy. 相似文献

The Schiff base N,N′‐bis(salicylidene)‐1,5‐diamino‐3‐oxapentane (H2L) and its lanthanide(III) complexes, PrL(NO3)(DMF)(H2O) ( 1 ) and Ho2L2(NO3)2 · 2H2O ( 2 ), were synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. Single crystal X‐ray structure analysis revealed that complex 1 is a discrete mononuclear species. The PrIII ion is nine‐coordinate, forming a distorted capped square antiprismatic arrangement. Complex 2 is a centrosymmetric dinuclear neutral entity in which the HoIII ion is eight‐coordinate with distorted square antiprismatic arrangement. The DNA‐binding properties of H2L and its LnIII complexes were investigated by spectrophotometric methods and viscosity measurements. The results suggest that the ligand H2L and its LnIII complexes both connect to DNA in a groove binding mode; the complexes bind more strongly to DNA than the ligand. Moreover, the antioxidant activities of the LnIII complexes were in vitro determined by superoxide and hydroxyl radical scavenging methods, which indicate that complexes 1 and 2 have OH · and O2– · radical scavenging activity. 相似文献

Until now, although there are many examples of studying the magnetic properties of Schiff base binuclear lanthanide complexes, the relationship between the structure and magnetic properties of the complexes still is worth further investigation in order to improve the magnetic properties of Schiff base lanthanide complexes. In this work, we successfully obtained two series of binuclear Ln complexes by in situ reaction of 4-diethylaminosalicylaldehyde, benzoic hydrazide and different lanthanide salts at 80°C under solvothermal conditions, namely, [Ln2(L)3(NO3)3]·CH3CN·CH3OH·H2O [Ln = Dy ( 1 ), Ho ( 2 ), Gd ( 3 ) L = deprotonated 4-diethylamino salicylaldehyde benzoylhydrazine], [Ln2(L)4(CH3COO)]CH3COO·CH3CN [Ln = Dy ( 4 ), Ho ( 5 ), Gd ( 6 )]. The complex 1 contains three Schiff base ligands L, two Dy (III) ions, and three NO3−. The ligand H1L is formed by in situ Schiff base reaction with 4-diethylaminosalicylaldehyde and benzoic hydrazide with the participation of Ln (NO3)3. When replacing Ln (NO3)3 with Ln (OAc)3, obtained three μ2-OAc bridged binuclear Ln (III) complexes. The magnetic study showed that complex 4 exhibits field-induced single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior while complex 1 does not show any SMMs behavior. In addition, we have studied the magnetocaloric effect of complexes 3 and 6 , their maximum −ΔSm values are 21.37 J kg−1 K−1 and 15.32 J kg−1 K−1, respectively, under ΔH = 7 T and T = 2 K. 相似文献

The reaction of a chiral racemic bidentate ligand HL1 (tBu2P(O)CH2CH(tBu)OH) with mid to late trivalent lanthanide cations affords predominantly homochiral lanthanide complexes (RRR)‐[Ln(L1)3] and (SSS)‐[Ln(L1)3]. A series of reactions are reported that demonstrate that the syntheses are under thermodynamic control, and driven by a ligand ‘self‐recognition’ process, in which the large asymmetric bidentate L1 ligands pack most favourably in a C3 geometry around the lanthanide cation. The synthesis of bis(L1) adducts [Ln(L1)2X] (X=N(SiMe3)2, OC6H3tBu‐2,6) is also reported. Analysis of the diastereomer mixtures shows that homochiral (L1)2 complexes are favoured but to a lesser extent. The complexes Ln(L1)3 and [Ln(L1)2(OC6H3tBu‐2,6)] have been studied as initiators for the polymerization of ε‐caprolactone and its copolymer with lactide, glycolide and its copolymer with lactide, and ε‐caprolactam. 相似文献

Herein, we discuss how, why, and when cascade complexation reactions produce stable, mononuclear, luminescent ternary complexes, by considering the binding of hexafluoroacetylacetonate anions (hfac?) and neutral, semi‐rigid, tridentate 2,6‐bis(benzimidazol‐2‐yl)pyridine ligands ( Lk ) to trivalent lanthanide atoms (LnIII). The solid‐state structures of [Ln( Lk )(hfac)3] (Ln=La, Eu, Lu) showed that [Ln(hfac)3] behaved as a neutral six‐coordinate lanthanide carrier with remarkable properties: 1) the strong cohesion between the trivalent cation and the didentate hfac anions prevented salt dissociation; 2) the electron‐withdrawing trifluoromethyl substituents limited charge‐neutralization and favored cascade complexation with Lk ; 3) nine‐coordination was preserved for [Ln( Lk )(hfac)3] for the complete lanthanide series, whilst a counterintuitive trend showed that the complexes formed with the smaller lanthanide elements were destabilized. Thermodynamic and NMR spectroscopic studies in solution confirmed that these characteristics were retained for solvated molecules, but the operation of concerted anion/ligand transfers with the larger cations induced subtle structural variations. Combined with the strong red photoluminescence of [Eu( Lk )(hfac)3], the ternary system LnIII/hfac?/ Lk is a promising candidate for the planned metal‐loading of preformed multi‐tridentate polymers. 相似文献

A new bisphosphoryl ligand, 2,4-bis(diphenylphosphorylmethyl)mesitylene (L1), has been synthesized. Upon the interaction of L1 with lanthanide nitrates, stable mononuclear chelates [Ln(L1) n (NO3)3] (Ln = Ce(III), Nd(III), Er(III); n = 1, 2) were obtained. The structure of the complexes in solid state and in solution was studied by vibrational (IR and Raman) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and conformational (molecular mechanics) analysis. 相似文献

Twelve coordinate lanthanide (III) complexes with the general composition [Ln L3Xn(H2O)n] where Ln = Pr(III), Sm(III), Eu (III), Gd (III), Tb (III), Dy (III), X = Cl?1, NO3 ?2, n = 2–7, and L is 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluoro/hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1- thiosemicarbazone have been prepared. The lanthanide complexes (5) were derived from the reaction between 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluoro/hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-thiosemicarbazone (4) with an aqueous solution of lanthanide salt. Chalcone thiosemicarbazone ligand (4) was prepared by the reaction of [1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluoro/hydroxyphenyl)]prop-2-enone (chalcone) (3) with thiosemicarbazide in the presence of hot ethanol. All the lanthanide-ligand 1:3 complexes have been isolated in the solid state, are stable in air, and characterized on the basis of their elemental and spectral data. Thiosemicarbazone ligands behave as bidentate ligands by coordinating through the sulfur of the isocyanide group and nitrogen of the cyanide residue. The probable structure for all the lanthanide complexes is also proposed. The chalcone thiosemicarbazone ligands and their lanthanide complexes have been screened for their antifungal and antibacterial studies. Some of the synthesized lanthanide complexes have shown enhanced activity compared with that of the free ligand. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

The synthesis of complexes between lanthanide nitrates and MeC(CH2P(O)Ph2)3 (=L) in ethanol or methanol leads to the formation of polymeric complexes Ln(NO3)3L as alcohol solvates. The ligand adopts a chelating–bridging mode. The structures of the complexes La(NO3)3L · EtOH and Pr(NO3)3L · MeOH are reported and the coordination of L is discussed in terms of that of the related free ligand EtC(CH2P(O)Ph2)3. Infrared spectroscopy implies structural differences between the early and later lanthanide complexes. 相似文献

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 YbIII 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. 相似文献

The synthesis and characterization of lanthanide(III) complexes with the Schiff-base hydrazone, o-hydroxyacetophenone-7-chloro-4-quinoline, (HL) are reported. The complexes were characterized by different physicochemical methods: mass spectrometry, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and IR, UV-visible, molar conductance and magnetic studies. They have the stoichiometry [Ln(L)2(NO3)]·nH2O where Ln = La(III), Pr(III), Nd(II), Sm(III), Eu(III) and n = 1–3. The spectra of the complexes were interpreted by comparison with the spectrum of the free ligand. The Schiff-base ligand and its metal complexes were tested against one stain Gram +ve bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), Gram ?ve bacteria (Escherichia coli), and Fungi (Candida albicans). The tested compounds exhibited high antimicrobial activities 相似文献

Two series of new lanthanide(III) complexes of the type [Ln(HSAT)2(H2O)3Cl3] and [Ln(HSAT)2(NO3)3], where Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Tm, Yb, or Lu, and HSAT = 2-(N-salicylideneamino)-3-carboxyethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene,
are synthesized by the reaction of LnCl3 or Ln(NO3)3 with the title ligand in ethanol. The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic moment values, molar conductivity,
IR, UV-Vis, and 1H NMR spectral data. Two selected complexes are subject to thermogravimetric analysis, and their kinetic parameters are estimated
using Coats-Redfern equation. The complex [La(HSAT)2(NO3)3] underwent facile transesterification when refluxed in methanol. The ligand and some selected complexes are screened for
their antimicrobial properties. Antimicrobial activities of the ligand increase on coordination with the metal ion.

Sandwich coordination complexes, [LnIII(H3L)2]X3?solvents, of Tb(III), Eu(III), Dy(III), Ho(III) and Er(III) were prepared with two new zwitterionic ester-substituted tripodal amine ligands, tris((2-hydroxy-5-n-butyl benzoate)aminoethyl)-amine (H3L1) and tris((2-hydroxy-5-methyl benzoate)aminoethyl)-amine (H3L2). These ligands were synthesised by condensation of the appropriately substituted salicylaldehyde with tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) followed by in situ reduction of the tris-imine to tris-amine. Subsequent 2:1 reaction with lanthanide(III) ions yields [LnIII(H3L)2]X3?solvents (L = L1, L2; X = Cl?, NO3?; solvents = MeOH or H2O). All complexes were characterised by microanalysis, infrared spectroscopy, high resolution mass spectrometry and solid-state photoluminescence measurements. The crystal structures of [TbIII(H3L1)2]Cl3·6MeOH, [Dy(H3L1)2]Cl3·6MeOH, [EuIII(H3L1)2]Cl3·6MeOH and [TbIII(H3L1)2](NO3)3 reveal high-crystallographic ?3 symmetry at the O6-coordinated octahedral lanthanide(III) ions and that the tripodal ligands are bound in zwitterionic form: the protons from the phenolic oxygens have migrated to the amino nitrogens. Photoluminescence measurements indicate various degrees of energy transfer of the ligand chromophore to the lanthanide ions, as both ligand and lanthanide emission features are observed. Despite the high-crystallographic symmetry and the likely small transverse magnetic anisotropy of the complexes, no evidence of slow relaxation of the magnetisation, characteristic of a single-molecule magnet, was observed for [TbIII(H3L1)2]Cl3·MeOH·3H2O, [DyIII(H3L1)2]Cl3·6H2O, [HoIII(H3L1)2](NO3)3·2H2O, [ErIII(H3L1)2]·H2O and [TbIII(H3L1)2](NO3)3 down to 2.0 K. 相似文献

Two lanthanide complexes with 2-fluorobenzoate (2-FBA) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The structure of each complex contains two non-equivalent binuclear molecules, [Ln(2-FBA)3?·?phen?·?CH3CH2OH]2 and [Ln(2-FBA)3?·?phen]2 (Ln?=?Eu (1) and Sm (2)). In [Ln(2-FBA)3?·?phen?·?CH3CH2OH]2, the Ln3+ is surrounded by eight atoms, five O atoms from five 2-FBA groups, one O atom from ethanol and two N atoms from phen ligand; 2-FBA groups coordinate Ln3+ with monodentate and bridging coordination modes. The polyhedron around Ln3+ is a distorted square-antiprism. In [Ln(2-FBA)3?·?phen]2, the Ln3+ is coordinated by nine atoms, seven O atoms from five 2-FBA groups and two N atoms of phen ligand; 2-FBA groups coordinate Ln3+ ion with chelating, bridging and chelating-bridging three coordination modes. The polyhedron around Ln3+ ion is a distorted, monocapped square-antiprism. The europium complex exhibits strong red fluorescence from 5D0?→?7F j ( j?=?1–4) transition emission of Eu3+. 相似文献

Two lanthanide (Sm and La) complexes with the Schiff base ligand bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-3-oxapentane-1,5-diamine (Bod) have been synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopic methods. [Sm(Bod)(NO3)3] {bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-3-oxapentane-1,5-diamine samarium(III) trinitrate} (1) is a discrete mononuclear species and [La(Bod)(NO3)3(DMF)]n {bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-3-oxapentane-1,5-diamine dimethylformamide lanthanum(III) trinitrate}n (2) formed an inorganic coordination polymer. In the two complexes, the metal ions are both ten-coordinate and the geometric structure around the Ln(III) ions can be described as distorted hexadecahedral. An antioxidant assay in vitro shows that complexes 1 and 2 exhibit better scavenging activity than both the ligand and the usual antioxidants on hydroxyl and superoxide radicals. Under excitation at room temperature, a red shift in the fluorescence band of the ligand in the complexes compared with that of the free ligand can be attributed to coordination of the rare earth ions to the ligand. Furthermore, 1 produced characteristic Sm(III) luminescence, which indicates the ligand Bod is a good organic chelator to absorb energy and transfer it to the Sm3+ ion. 相似文献

Two aliphatic ether Schiff base lanthanide complexes (Ln = Eu, Ce) with bis(3‐methoxysalicylidene)‐3‐oxapentane‐1,5‐diamine (Bod), were synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. [Eu(Bod)(NO3)3] ( 1 ) is a discrete mononuclear species and [Ce(Bod)(NO3)3DMF]∞ ( 2 ) exhibits an inorganic coordination polymer. In the two complexes, the metal ions both are ten‐coordinated and the geometric structure around the LnIII atom can be described as distorted hexadecahedron. Under excitation at room temperature, the red shift in the fluorescence band of the ligand in the complexes compared with that of the free ligand can be attributed to coordination of the rare earth ions to the ligand. Moreover, the antioxidant activities of the two complexes were investigated. The results demonstrated that the complexes have better scavenging activity than both the ligand and the usual antioxidants on the hydroxyl and superoxide radicals. 相似文献

Newly designed hetero-dinuclear 3d–4f complex [Cu(L)La (NO3)2(μ-NO3)(H2O)]·EtOH ( 1 ), hetero-tetranuclear 3d–4f complex [Cu(L)Ce (NO3)2(μ-NO3)(OAc)2]2·MeOH ( 2 ) and hetero-multinuclear 3d–4f complexes [{Cu(L)Ln (NO3)3}2][Cu(L)Ln (NO3)3]2 (Ln = Pr ( 3 ) and Nd = ( 4 )) have been self-assembled from the reaction of Cu (OAc)2·H2O, Ln (NO3)3·6H2O (Ln = La, Ce, Pr and Nd) with an unsymmetric salamo-like bisoxime ligand H2L (6-Methoxy-6′-ethoxy-2,2′-[ethylenedioxybis (nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol) based on a Schiff base condensation of 2-[O-(1-ethoxyamide)]oxime-6-methoxyphenol and 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde. The structures of complexes 1 – 4 were characterized by elemental analyses, PXRD analyses, IR, UV–Vis spectra, and single-crystal X-ray analyses. In addition, the supramolecular interactions and fluorescence properties of complexes 1 – 4 are discussed in detail. Moreover, the antioxidant activities of the complexes 1 – 4 were determined by superoxide radical-scavenging method in vitro, which indicates that the complexes 1 – 4 all show potential antioxidant properties. 相似文献

A novel photoluminescent room‐temperature liquid‐crystalline salicylaldimine Schiff base with a short alkoxy substituent and a series of lanthanide(III) complexes of the type [Ln(LH)3(NO3)3] (Ln=La, Pr, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy; LH=(E)‐5‐(hexyloxy)‐2‐ [{2‐(2‐hydroxyethylamino)ethylimino]methyl}phenol) have been synthesized and characterized by FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR, UV/Vis, and FAB‐MS analyses. The ligand coordinates to the metal ions in its zwitterionic form. The thermal behavior of the compounds was investigated by polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The ligand exhibits an enantiotropic hexagonal columnar (Colh) mesophase at room temperature and the complexes show an enantiotropic lamellar columnar (ColL) phase at around 120 °C with high thermal stability. Based on XRD results, different space‐filling models have been proposed for the ligand and complexes to account for the columnar mesomorphism. The ligand exhibits intense blue emission both in solution and in the condensed state. The most intense emissions were observed for the samarium and terbium complexes, with the samarium complex glowing with a bright‐orange light (ca. 560–644 nm) and the terbium complex emitting green light (ca. 490–622 nm) upon UV irradiation. DFT calculations performed by using the DMol3 program at the BLYP/DNP level of theory revealed a nine‐coordinate structure for the lanthanide complexes. 相似文献
