Koordinationszahl und nephelauxetischer Effekt von Komplexen der Lanthaniden

The Eu^IIIEDTA complex exhibits a strong temperature dependence of its absorption band at 395 nm in dilute aqueous solution. Similar but much weaker effects can be observed in solutions of SmEDTA and GdEDTA, whereas EDTA complexes of the other lanthanide ions as well as the aquo ions of the whole series show no significant change of their absorption spectra in nation number along the series of the lanthanide EDTA complexes that takes place from Sm to Tb at room temperature. It can be concluded from the nephelauxetic effect that the coordination number decreases with increasing atomic number. The coordination numbers of the aquo ions are the same for all trivalent lanthanide ions in dilute solutions.

Complexation of Cerium Group Lanthanides with L-Malic Acid under an Excess of Metal Ions

Complexation of cerium group lanthanide ions (Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) with L-malic acid in aqueous solutions was studied by pH-metric titration at a malic acid : lanthanide concentration ratio of 1 : 2, in the pH range of 3.0 to 9.0, and at ionic strength of 0.1 mol/l (KCl). The composition and the stability constants of L-malate complexes and hydroxo complexes of lanthanides were determined.     

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.

Synthesis,characterization and cytotoxic/cytostatic activity of Sm(III) and Gd(III) complexes

New Sm(III) and Gd(III) complexes of deprotonated 4-hydroxy-3[1-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-oxobutyl]-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (Acenocoumarol) were synthesized and characterized using FT-IR, FT-Raman, NMR spectra, and elemental analyses. The vibrational study gave evidence for the coordination of ligand to lanthanide ions. The ligand and its lanthanide(III) complexes were tested for their cytotoxic/cytostatic activity against two tumor cell lines and peritoneal mouse macrophages. The Sm(III) and Gd(III) complexes exhibit good activity against melanoma B16 and fibrosarcoma L929 and are stronger inhibitors of tumor cell proliferation than the ligand. Besides their cytotoxicity to tumor cells, Acenocoumarol and its gadolinium(III) and samarium(III) complexes modulate NO generation in activated macrophages.     

Zinc-adeninate metal-organic framework for aqueous encapsulation and sensitization of near-infrared and visible emitting lanthanide cations

Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), Ln(3+)@bio-MOF-1, were synthesized via postsynthetic cation exchange of bio-MOF-1 with Tb(3+), Sm(3+), Eu(3+), or Yb(3+), and their photophysical properties were studied. We demonstrate that bio-MOF-1 encapsulates and sensitizes visible and near-infrared emitting lanthanide cations in aqueous solution.     

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.

Mono and trinuclear lanthanide complexes of 13-membered tetraaza macrocycle: Synthesis and characterization

The reaction of 1,8-diamino-3,6-diazaoctane and diethyl malonate in dry methanol yielded a 13-membered macrocycle. Complexes of the type [Ln(tatd)Cl₂ (H₂O)₃]Cl [Ln^III=La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy; tatd=1, 5, 8, 11-tetra-azacyclotridecane-2,4-dione] have been synthesized by template condensation. The complex [La(tatd)Cl₂ (H₂O)₃]Cl in methanol was reacted with lanthanide chlorides to yield the trinuclear complexes of type [2{La(tatd)Cl₂(H₂O)₃}LnCl₃]Cl₂ [Ln^III=La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy]. The chemical compositions of mono and trinuclear complexes have been established on the basis of analytical, molar conductance, electrospray (ES) and fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass data. In mononuclear complexes the Ln³⁺ ion is encapsulated by four ring nitrogens and in trimetallic complexes the exo-carbonyl oxygens of two mononuclear units coordinate to the Ln³⁺ ions resulting in a polyhedron around the lanthanide ions. Thus the macrocycle is bonded in a tetradentate fashion in the former complexes and hexadentate in the latter. The coordination number nine around the encapsulated Ln³⁺ and seven around the exo-oxygen bonded Ln³⁺ ions are established. The symmetry of the ligand field around the metal ions is indicated from the emission spectra.

How Lanthanide Ions Affect the Addition–Elimination Step of Methanol Dehydrogenases

The recently discovered methanol dehydrogenase, XoxF, is a widespread enzyme used by methylotrophic bacteria to oxidize methanol for carbon and energy, and requires lanthanide ions for its activity. This enzyme represents an essential component of methanol utilization by both methanol- and methane-utilizing bacteria. The present investigation looks on the electronic, energetic and geometrical behavior of the methanol dehydrogenase from Methylacidiphilum fumariolicum SolV, which is strictly dependent on early lanthanide metals with +3 oxidation states, by examining enzyme-substrate complexes of all the lanthanides. We focus on the catalytic reaction mechanism of two methanol dehydrogenases having as cofactor europium and ytterbium belonging to the mid- and later- series of lanthanides, in comparison with the methanol dehydrogenase containing the cerium, one early lanthanide. Our results provide evidence for the influence of the lanthanide contraction effect in all the elementary steps of the catalytic reaction mechanism. This indication may prove useful for developing new catalytic machineries of enzymes that adopt new-to-nature transformations.     

Thermal and Emission Properties of a Series of Lanthanides Complexes with N-Biphenyl-Alkylated-4-Pyridone Ligands: Crystal Structure of a Terbium Complex with N-Benzyl-4-Pyridone

This work focuses on the investigation of the liquid crystalline behavior and luminescence properties of the lanthanide complexes of Eu(III), Sm(III) and Tb(III) with N-biphenyl-alkylated-4-pyridone ligands. The organic ligands having a biphenyl group attached via a long flexible spacer with either 9 or 10 carbon atoms were synthesized by the reaction between 4-hydroxypyridine and the corresponding bromide compounds. The chemical structures of the organic and lanthanide complexes were assigned based on elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, ¹H, ¹³C NMR and IR spectroscopies, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The X-ray diffraction analysis of a parent compound shows that the lanthanide ions are surrounded by three monodentate pyridone ligands and three bidentate nitrate ions, giving a 9-coordinate environment. The mesogenic behavior and the type of liquid crystalline phases exhibited by the new complexes were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. Only the lanthanide complexes with longer spacer (10) display a monotropic SmA phase, typically on a short thermal range (less than 10 °C). The complexes with shorter flexible chains (9) show no liquid crystalline properties with melting temperatures lower than their analogs with longer spacers. The emission spectra recorded in solid state at room temperatures show typical emission bands for each lanthanide ion employed (Eu(III), Tb(III) and Sm(III)).     

Geometric and electronic structure of lanthanide orthophosphate nanoparticles determined with X-rays

The evolution of the geometric and electronic structures within the entire series of lanthanide orthophosphate nanoparticles ( approximately 2- approximately 5 nm) has been determined experimentally with X-ray diffraction and near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. In particular, the interplay between electronic structure, crystal morphology, and crystal phase has been systematically studied. A missing local order in the crystal structure accompanied by multiple ion sites in the nanoparticles was revealed to be due to the small crystal size and large surface contribution. All lanthanide ions were found to be in "3+" configuration and accommodated in three different crystallization states: the larger lanthanide ions (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) in the monoclinic phase, the smaller ones (Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) in the tetragonal phase, and the intermediate lanthanide ions (Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho) in a "mixed phase" between monoclinic and tetragonal phases.     

The Studies of Lanthanide Shift Reagents in NMR Spectroscopy

The action of a series of lanthanide chelate complexes LnL₃, where Lu=La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Dy, Ho, Er and Yb; L= dbm (dibenzoylmethanato), dpm (dipivaloylmethanato), and acac acetylactonato), on nmr spectra of 2-butanol has been studied. The origin of shifting abilities and shifting sign of various lanthanide ions are explained by means of Bleaney's theory.     

Liquid-liquid extraction of some lanthanide metal ions by polyoxyalkylene systems

Polyoxyalkylene systems, namely, polypropylene glycol (PPG-1025), polyethylene glycol (PEG-600) and polybutadieneoxide (PBDO-700) dissolved in either nitrobenzene or 1,2-dichloroethane have been tested as prospective extractants for some lanthanide metal ions (Eu(3+), Pr(3+) and Er(3+)) from their aqueous solutions in the presence of picrate anions. The metal ions were quantified before and after extraction using the inductively coupled plasma emission spectrophotometry technique. The percent extraction and the distribution coefficients have indicated that pH of the aqueous phase, picrate concentration and the organic solvent are the major parameters that affect the extraction efficiency of the metal ions. The optimum pH range was found to be 3.5-5.5 and the picrate concentration should be as high as possible; however, a picrate concentration of about 0.05 M proved to be adequate for a near quantitative extraction. In all cases, nitrobenzene enhanced a higher percent extraction compared to 1,2-dichloroethane. The efficiency of the polyoxyalkylene systems to extract certain lanthanide metal ions was in the order PBDO-700>PPG-1025>PEG-600 when nitrobenzene was the organic solvent and in the order PPG-1025>PBDO-700 approximately PEG-600 when 1,2-dichloroethane used as the solvent in the organic phase. The extractability of PPG-1025 towards the lanthanide metal ions was in the order Pr(3+)>Eu(3+)>Er(3+) irrespective of the organic solvent used. The stoichiometry of the extracted polyoxyalkylene ion-pairs with the lanthanide metal ions has been estimated. Each mole of metal ions is associated with three moles of picrate anions and 13 to 14 moles of propyleneoxide units in the case of PPG-1025, and about 9 to 10 moles of ethyleneoxide units in the case of PEG-600 and 10 moles of butadieneoxide units in the case of PBDO-700.     

Hydrolytic synthesis and structural characterization of lanthanide-acetylacetonato/hydroxo cluster complexes--a systematic study

Lanthanide hydroxide cluster complexes with acetylacetonate were synthesized by the hydrolysis of the corresponding hydrated lanthanide acetylacetonates in methanol in the presence of triethylamine. Polymeric lanthanide hydroxide complexes based on diamond-shaped dinuclear repeating units of [Ln(2)(CH(3)CO(3))(2)](4+) (Ln = La, Pr) and discrete complexes featuring a tetranuclear distorted cubane core of [Ln(4)(μ(3)-OH)(2)(μ(3)-OCH(3))(2)](8+) (Ln = Nd, Sm) and a nonanuclear core of [Ln(9)(μ(4)-O)(μ(4)-OH)(μ(3)-OH)(8)](16+) (Ln = Eu-Dy, Er, Yb) were obtained. The dependence of the cluster nuclearity on the identity of the lanthanide ion is rationalized in terms of the influences of a metal ion's Lewis acidity and the sterics about the Ln-OH unit on the kinetics of the assembly process that leads to a particular cluster.     

Aromatic polyaminocarboxylate ligands for energy transfer luminescence measurements of lanthanide ions in aqueous solutions

The promising ligand candidates for the energy transfer luminescence measurements of lanthanide (Ln) chelates on aqueous matrices are first proposed. The ligands are; 2[(2-amino-5-methyl-phenoxy)methyl]-6-methoxy-8-aminoquinoline-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate (Quin 2), 1,2-bis(2-amino-phenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate (BAPTA), and 1,2-bis(2-amino-5-fluoro-phenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate (F-BAPTA). The Ln-chelates of these aromatic polyaminocarboxylates show the sensitized emission which results from efficient ligand-centered light absorption, and the interesting selectivity is seen; BAPTA and F-BAPTA form the luminescent chelates only with Tb(III) and Dy(III) ions, whereas the emission from Sm(III) and Eu(III) ions is greatly sensitized with Quin 2. The sufficient emission intensity can be obtained even in slightly alkaline aqueous solutions without any addition of surfactants or organic solvents. These octadentate ligands are fairly capable of shielding central Ln ions from quenching by surrounding water molecules. The luminescence enhancement factors are 1600 for Tb(III) ion with BAPTA (em.544 nm) and 1380 for Eu(III) ion with Quin 2 (em. 615 nm), respectively, being relative to their aqueous chloride solutions.
