Crystal structures, luminescent properties and thermal decomposition kinetics of some binuclear lanthanide complexes with 2,3-dichlorobenzoic acid anion and 2,2′-bipyridine

Some binuclear lanthanide complexes with the general formula [Ln(2,3-DClBA)₃bipy]₂ (Ln = Sm(1), Eu(2), Tb(3), Dy(4), and Ho(5); 2,3-DClBA = 2,3-dichlorobenzoate; bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, infrared, ultraviolet, luminescent spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and different thermogravimetry (TG–DTG) techniques. The single crystals of the complexes have been obtained except the complex 2 and their structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The four complexes are isostructural and the rare earth ions are all nine coordinated. The two rare earth ions in each complex are linked by two bridging bidentate and two chelating-bridging tridentate carboxylate groups. Under ultraviolet light excitation, the europium and terbium complexes exhibited characteristic red fluorescence of Eu³⁺ ion and green fluorescence of Tb³⁺ ion at room temperature. The non-isothermal kinetics was investigated by using the integral isoconversional non-linear (NL-INT) and the Popescu methods. The mechanism functions of the first decomposition step of the complexes 3–5 were determined. Meanwhile, the thermodynamic parameters (ΔG ^≠ , ΔH ^≠, and ΔS ^≠) at DTG peak temperatures were also calculated.     

Synthesis,structures, thermal behaviour,luminescence and magnetic properties of lanthanide complexes constructed from 2,6-dimethylbenzoic acid and 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine

Six new lanthanide complexes, with the formula [La(2,6-DMBA)₃(5,5′-DM-2,2′-bipy)(H₂O)]₂ (1) and [Ln(2,6-DMBA)₃(5,5′-DM-2,2′-bipy)]₂ (Ln = Tb(2), Dy(3), Ho(4), Pr(5), Nd(6)) (2,6-DMBA = 2,6-dimethylbenzoate, 5,5′-DM-2,2′-bipy = 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine) have been successfully synthesized and characterized. These title complexes have three different structural types. The structure of complex 1(type I) contains coordination water molecules, and the coordination number is 8. The coordination numbers of complexes 2–4 and 5–6 are 8 and 9, showing a distorted square antiprism geometry and distorted monocapped square anti-prismatic geometry, respectively. However they have the same general formula and they can be all assembled into the same 1D, 2D supramolecular structures via the C-H···O hydrogen bonding interactions, which is interesting in previous lanthanide complexes. The complexes were analyzed by TG-DSC/FTIR. In addition, the visible light luminescence experiments of Tb (III) complex was carried out, and the characteristic luminescence behavior of strong green color was shown. And the fluorescence lifetime and intrinsic quantum yield were calculated. The magnetic properties of complexes 2–4 were also studied, and the results showed that complex 3 and complexes 2, 4 have ferromagnetic interactions and antiferromagnetic interactions, respectively.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and properties of two terbium complexes with 2,2′-bipyridine

Two new complexes {[Tb(2-IBA)₃ · 2,2′-bipy]₂ · C₂H₅OH} (1) and [Tb(2-ClBA)₃ · 2,2′-bipy]₂ (2) (2-IBA = 2-iodobenzoate; 2-ClBA = 2-chlorobenzoate; 2,2′-bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) were prepared and their crystal structures determined by X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is composed of two types of binuclear molecules, [Tb(2-IBA)₃ · 2,2′-bipy]₂ (a) and [Tb(2-IBA)₃ · 2,2′-bipy]₂ (b), and an uncoordinated ethanol molecule. In molecule (a), two Tb³⁺ ions are linked by four 2-IBA groups, all bidentate-bridging. In molecule (b), two Tb³⁺ ions are held together by four 2-IBA groups in two coordination modes, bidentate-bridging and chelating-bridging. In the two molecules, each Tb³⁺ ion is further bonded to one chelating 2-IBA group and one chelating 2,2′-bipy molecule, resulting in coordination numbers of eight for (a) and nine for (b). The structural characteristics of 2 are similar to that of molecule (b) in 1. The two complexes, 1 and 2, both emit strong green fluorescence under ultraviolet light with the ⁵D₄ → ⁷F _j (j = 6–3) emission of Tb³⁺ ion observed.     

Structural and thermal properties of rare earth complexes with 2,2′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid

Rare earth complexes with 2,2′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid (diphenic acid = H₂dpa) were obtained as hydrated precipitates of the general formula Ln₂(C₁₄H₈O₄)₃∙nH₂O, where n = 3 for the of Y(III) and Ce(III)–Er(III) and n = 6 for La(III), Tm(III), Yb(III) and Lu(III) complexes. On heating in air atmosphere complexes lose all water molecules in the temperature range 30–210 °C in one step and form anhydrous compounds, which are stable up to 315–370 °C. During further heating they decompose to oxides. The trihydrated compounds are crystalline powders whereas the hexahydrated are amorphous solids. The trihydrated complexes crystallize in the monoclinic (Pr(III) and Ce(III) complexes) and triclinic (Y(III) and Nd(III)–Er(III) complexes) crystal systems.

Conductivity studies (in methanol, dimethylformamide, and dimethylsulfoxide) were also performed and described. The thermal properties of complexes in the solid state were studied using TG–DTG techniques under dynamic flow of air atmosphere. TG–MS system was used to analyze principal volatile thermal decomposition and fragmentation products evolved during pyrolyses of Ce(III) and Sm(III) complexes in dynamic flow of air atmosphere.

Ferrocenoylacetonate complexes of several lanthanides, [Ln(fca)₂(NO₃)(bpy)]·nMeC₆H₅ (Ln = Sm (1), Dy (3), Er (4), Yb (5), n = 1; Eu (2), n = 0.5; fca = FcC(O)CHC(O)Me; bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine), were synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal analysis. Complexes 1, 4, and 5 are isostructural; 2 has a similar molecular structure with cis-disposition of fca ligands. The molecular structure of 3 is different, with trans-disposition of the fca ligands. Crystal lattices of the complexes are stabilized by π-stacking interactions. The Ln³⁺ ions in the complexes are eight-coordinate. According to mass spectroscopic data, the complexes are unstable in the gas phase. Magnetic properties of 2 and 4 were studied in a DC field; for 4, AC studies were also carried out. The values of spin-orbital parameters obtained using two estimation methods for 2 are in satisfactory agreement. Slow relaxation of the magnetization was found for the Er complex.     

Hydrothermal synthesis, crystal structure, and properties of two novel binuclear complexes based on Zaltoprofen and 2,2′-bipyridine ligands

Two novel binuclear metal-organic coordination complexes [M₂(Zaltoprofen)₂(Bipy)₂] [M = Cd (I), Zn (II); Zaltoprofen = 5-(1-carboxyethyl)-2-(phenylthio)phenylacetic acid, Bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR and electronic spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and fluorescent properties.

Nickel(II) complex containing 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine: Crystal structure and luminescent properties

[Ni(5,5′-dmbipy)₂Cl₂]·3H₂O (1) complex was obtained from the reaction of NiCl₂·6H₂O with 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (5,5′-dmbipy) in a mixture of CH₃OH/CH₃CN. This complex was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis and luminescence spectroscopy, and its structure was determined by the single-crystal diffraction method.

Synthesis,characterization, and cytotoxicity of complexes of platinum(II) with 2,2′-bipyridine and N-benzoyl-L-amino acid dianion

Four new platinum(II) complexes (1–4) with N-benzoyl-L-amino acid and bipy were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV, ¹H NMR, and mass spectra. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Cytotoxicities were measured by MTT and SRB assays. Complexes 1–4 exert cytotoxicity with selectivity against HL-60, Bel-7402, BGC-823, and KB cell lines. This suggests that amino acids and acylated groups have important effects on cytotoxicity; the cytotoxicity is also related to the species of tumor cells, but the IC₅₀ values do not show definite correlation with the variation of amino acids and acylated groups.

Synthesis,characterization, and cytotoxicity of mixed-ligand complexes of platinum(II) with 2,2′-bipyridine and 4-toluenesulfonyl-L-amino acid dianion

Five new platinum(II) complexes (1–5) with 4-toluenesulfonyl-L-amino acid dianion and 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and mass spectra. The crystal structure of 1 has been determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Cytotoxicity was tested by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and sulforhodamine B (SRB) assays. The results indicate that 1–5 exert cytotoxic effects with selectivity against tested carcinoma cell lines; 5 displays better cytotoxicity against BGC-823, Bel-7402, and KB cell lines, while 1 has better cytotoxicity against KB cell line. The 4-toluenesulfonyl- L-amino acid dianions have important effects on cytotoxicity; when 4-toluenesulfonyl-L-amino acid dianions are 4-toluenesulfonyl-L-glycine and 4-toluenesulfonyl-L-phenylalanine, the complexes show better cytotoxicity.     

Synthesis,structure and redox properties of mixed ligand complexes of trivalent ruthenium with deprotonated 2-carbamoylpyridine derivatives and 2,2′-bipyridine

Five mixed ligand complexes of trivalent ruthenium with general formula [Ru(L)(bpy)Cl₂], where L=p-substituted N-phenyl derivatives of 2-carbamoylpyridine and bpy=2,2′-bipyridine, have been synthesised and characterised. X-ray crystal structural characterisation of a representative complex, i.e. where L=2-(N-(4-nitrophenyl)carbamoyl)pyridine, shows that the amide-containing ligand coordinates to the ruthenium(III) centre via the pyridyl nitrogen and the amidato nitrogen, forming a five-membered chelate ring. The complexes are paramagnetic (low spin d⁵, S=1/2) and show a single signal in their EPR spectra in 1:1 dichloromethane–toluene solution at 77 K. In dichloromethane solution, these complexes show intense ligand to metal charge transfer transitions in the visible region. All the complexes display two cyclic voltammetric responses, a ruthenium(III)–ruthenium(IV) oxidation in the range from +0.63 to +0.93 V and a ruthenium(III)–ruthenium(II) reduction in the range from −0.63 to −0.73 V(vs ferrocene–ferrocenium couple). The potentials of both couples for all the complexes are found to be sensitive to the nature of the substituents present on the amide ligands, L.
