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.

Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of Sm+3 and Nd+3 from solid matrix using Cyanex 921

The goal of this research was to investigate the feasibility of removing samarium and neodymium ions from solid matrix using Cyanex 921 in supercritical CO₂. The effect of various parameters such as pressure, temperature, extraction time, and stoichiometry of the complexation reaction was studied and optimized. It was found that optimal parameters are, respectively, 9 and 11 MPa, 45°C, 30 min, and 1: 3 (metal: ligand) for both samarium and neodymium. The conditional formation constant for the complexation reaction of samarium and neodymium with Cyanex 921 in the supercritical fluid phase was calculated as log K _d = 1.51 and log K _d = 1.08, respectively.

     

Energy transfer between Gd3+ and Sm3+ the effect of Gd3+ on quenching of Sm3+ and intensity parameters of Sm3+ in borate glasses

Intensity parameters of Sm³⁺ in borate glasses were obtained by fitting the oscillator strengths to the Judd-Ofelt formula and a study of energy transfer from gadolinium to samarium was performed. An increase of samarium fluorescence originating from the ${}^4\text{G}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ level was observed in the presence of gadolinium, in the concentration range of 0.1–3 wt% samarium with gadolinium constant at 3 wt%. The intensity of samarium fluorescence on excitation at 273 nm increased by one order of magnitude in the presence of gadolinium. From the excitation spectrum of the double-doped glasses (Gd + Sm), it was deduced that energy absorbed by gadolinium is transferred from ${}^6\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>7</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ gadolinium levels to the ${}^4\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ and ${}^4\text{P}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ samarium levels.The mechanism of this energy transfer was obtained by plotting the energy transfer probabilities as a function of samarium concentration. A linear dependence of $\text{η}{}_0\text{η}$ (η intensity of gadolinium in the presence of samarium) versus square of concentration of Sm + Gd is obtained. From this it is concluded that the transfer is of electric-multipolar type, mainly dipole-dipole. A small increase (about 10%) of fluorescence of samarium in the presence of gadolinium excited at levels where no energy transfer can take place is attributed to the fact that the quenching of samarium occurring by the cross relaxation $\text{(}{}^4\text{G}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{→}{}^6\text{F}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>9</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{) (}{}^6\text{H}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{→}{}^6\text{F}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>9</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{)}$ is suppressed by the presence of gadolinium as seen from concentration dependence of samarium doped glasses compared to double-doped glasses.     

Influence of Mg2+ Ion on Thermodynamic Parameters of Gd3+ and Ho3+ Complexation with n-Butyric Acid in Aqueous Solutions

Thermodynamic parameters of complexation were determined from data of calorimetric titration of LnCl₃-Hbut-Mg²⁺ and LnCl₃-HBut systems (Hbut is n-butyric acid) at 298 K and ionic strength 1.0 mol/l KCl. The Mg²⁺ ions were found to influence thermodynamic parameters of the lanthanide ion complexation with HBut.     

Interaction of the Fungal Metabolite Harzianic Acid with Rare-Earth Cations (La3+, Nd3+, Sm3+, Gd3+)

Rare-earth elements are emerging contaminants of soil and water bodies which destiny in the environment and effects on organisms is modulated by their interactions with natural ligands produced by bacteria, fungi and plants. Within this framework, coordination by harzianic acid (H₂L), a Trichoderma secondary metabolite, of a selection of tripositive rare-earth cations Ln³⁺ (Ln³⁺ = La³⁺, Nd³⁺, Sm^3+, and Gd³⁺) was investigated at 25 °C, and in a CH₃OH/0.1 M NaClO₄ (50/50 w/w) solvent, using mass spectrometry, circular dichroism, UV–Vis spectrophotometry, and pH measurements. Experimental data can be satisfactorily explained by assuming, for all investigated cations, the formation of a mono-complex (LnL⁺) and a bis-complex (LnL₂⁻). Differences were found between the formation constants of complexes of different Ln³⁺ cations, which can be correlated with ionic radius. Since gadolinium is the element that raises the most concern among lanthanide elements, its effects on organisms at different levels of biological organization were explored, in the presence and absence of harzianic acid. Results of ecotoxicological tests suggest that harzianic acid can decrease gadolinium biotoxicity, presumably because of complex formation with Gd³⁺.     

Photoluminescence and Raman studies of Sm3+ and Nd3+ ions in zirconia matrices: example of energy transfer and host-guest interactions

Photoluminescence and Raman studies on Sm(3+)- and Nd(3+)-doped zirconia are reported. The Raman studies indicate that the monoclinic (m) phase dominates up to a 10 at.% lanthanide level, while stabilization of the cubic phase is attained at approximately 20 and approximately 25 at.% of Sm(3+) and Nd(3+), respectively. Both systems are strongly luminescent under photo-excitation. The emission spectrum at 77 K of the ZrO(2):Sm(3+) system consists of a broad band at 505 nm, that corresponds to the zirconia matrix. At room temperature the band maximum blue-shifts to 490 nm. Sharper bands corresponding to f-f transitions within the Sm(3+)ion are also exhibited in the longer wavelength region of the spectrum. Exclusive excitation of the zirconia matrix provides sensitized emission from the acceptor Sm(3+) ion. The excitation profile is dominated by a broad band at 325 nm when monitored either at the zirconia or at one of the Sm(3+) emissions. A spectral overlap between the 6H(5/2)-->(4)G(7/2) absorption of the Sm(3+) ion with the zirconia emission leads to an efficient energy transfer process in the systems. Multiple facets of the spectral behavior of the Sm(3+) or Nd(3+) in the zirconia matrices, as well as the effects of compositions on the emission and Raman properties of the materials, and the role of defect centers in photoluminescence and the energy transfer processes are discussed.

Complexation of Tungsten(VI) with Methyliminodiacetic Acid at Different Ionic Strengths

The results of this research give ionic strength dependence patterns for the complexation of tungsten(VI) with methyliminodiacetic acid at T?=?298?K. The formation data reported in this work were obtained at different ionic strengths (0.1?<?I/mol·dm^?3?<?1.0) of sodium perchlorate on the basis of Job??s continuous variation method, which show that a 1:1 complex forms at pH?=?7.50. UV experimental data were collected for the calculation of the stability constants according to the extended Debye?CHückel theory, the specific ion interaction theory and the parabolic model. Finally, these three models have been compared.     

Study on Gd3+ and Sm3+ co-doped ceria-based electrolytes

Doped ceria electrolytes of Ce_1-aGd_a-ySm_yO_2–0.5a, wherein a=0.15 or 0.2, and 0ya, were prepared with the citrate method, and characterized by inductively coupled plasma–atomic emission spectrometry, energy dispersive spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and AC impedance spectroscopy. The effect of composition on the structure and conductivity was studied. All the samples were fluorite-type ceria-based solid solutions. For the singly doped samples, the optimal composition was Ce_0.85Gd_0.15O_1.925 for Gd³⁺-doped ceria (CGO), which showed higher ionic conductivity than the best Sm³⁺-doped ceria (CSO) at 773–973 K. For the co-doped samples, the ionic conductivities were higher than those of the singly doped ones in the temperature range 673–973 K when a=0.15, but only better in 673–773 K when a=0.2. For the samples of Ce_0.85Gd_0.15-ySm_yO_1.925, wherein 0.05y0.1, much higher ionic conductivity was observed than those of the singly doped ceria at 773K~973 K. Therefore, these co-doped samples would be better than CGO and CSO to be the electrolytes of intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cells.

Luminescence properties of Dy3+ or/and Sm3+ doped LiLa(WO4)2 phosphors and energy transfer from Dy3+ to Sm3+

The Dy³⁺ or/and Sm³⁺ doped LiLa(WO₄)₂ phosphors are synthesized by a facile solid state reaction method. The phase and luminescence properties of the phosphors are investigated. The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show that the phosphor has a tetragonal phase crystal structure. The quenching concentration of single doped Dy³⁺ and Sm³⁺ in the LiLa(WO₄)₂ are determined to be 6% and 3%, respectively. Under the excitation of 404 nm, warm white light is obtained in the co-doped phosphors. With the concentration of Sm³⁺ increasing, the correlated color temperature (CCT) gradually decreases from 3090 to 2453 K. Two kinds of energy transfer may exist at the same time. The overlap between the emission spectrum of Dy³⁺ and the excitation spectrum of Sm³⁺ reveals that the energy of Dy³⁺ can transfer to Sm³⁺ via radiation. Another way of energy transfer, that is non-radiative energy transfer, is attributed to the excited state of Dy³⁺ (⁴F_9/2) slightly higher than that of Sm³⁺ (⁴I_19/2). The calculation results show that non-radiative energy transfer process from Dy³⁺ to Sm³⁺ ions is predominated by quadrupole–quadrupole interaction.

Optical characterization of Sm3+ and Dy3+:ZnO-PbO-B2O3 glasses

Here, we present the results of the analysis of Sm(3+) or Dy(3+) (0.5 mol%) ions doped heavy metal oxide (HMO)-based zinc lead borate (ZLB) glasses. Optical measurements such as absorption, emission spectra, lifetimes, XRD, DSC profiles have been carried out. The emission spectrum of Sm(3+):ZLB has shown the emission transitions of (4)G(5/2)-->(6)H(5/2) (563 nm), (4)G(5/2)-->(6)H(7/2) (598 nm), (4)G(5/2)-->(6)H(9/2) (646 nm), (4)G(5/2)-->(6)H(11/2) (708 nm) with lambda(exc): 401 nm ((6)H(5/2)-->(4)F(7/2)). In the case of the Dy(3+):ZLB glass, emission transitions of (4)F(9/2)-->(6)H(15/2) (485 nm), (4)F(9/2)-->(6)H(13/2) (575 nm) and (4)F(9/2)-->(6)H(11/2) (664 nm) with lambda(exi): 447 nm ((6)H(15/2)-->(4)I(15/2)) have been identified. Energy level schemes relating to the emission mechanisms involved in Sm(3+) and Dy(3+) glasses have been given.     

Complexation of Am(III) and Nd(III) by 1,10-Phenanthroline-2,9-Dicarboxylic Acid

The complexant 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid (PDA) is a planar tetradentate ligand that is more preorganized for metal complexation than its unconstrained analogue ethylendiiminodiacetic acid (EDDA). Furthermore, the backbone nitrogen atoms of PDA are aromatic, hence are softer than the aliphatic amines of EDDA. It has been hypothesized that PDA will selectively bond to trivalent actinides over lanthanides. In this report, the results of spectrophotometric studies of the complexation of Nd(III) and Am(III) by PDA are reported. Because the complexes are moderately stable, it was necessary to conduct these titrations using competitive equilibrium methods, competitive cation complexing between PDA and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, and competition between ligand protonation and complex formation. Stability constants and ligand protonation constants were determined at 0.1 mol·L^?1 ionic strength and at 0.5 mol·L^?1 ionic strength nitrate media at 21 ± 1 °C. The stability constants are lower than those predicted from first principles and speciation calculations indicate that Am³⁺ selectivity over Nd³⁺ is less than that exhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline.     

BaTiO3:Sm3+ nanophosphor with K+ ion incorporation for modulating non-radiative transitions

Rare earth (RE) activated nanophosphors are the prime elements employed to manufacture light emitting diodes (LEDs) for the current solid state lighting (SSL) industry. The apparent lack of reddish orange emitting nanophosphors is proving to a constraint in the commercialization of the white light emitting diodes (WLEDs). Herein, the size of BaTiO₃ (BTO): Sm³⁺ and K⁺ co-activated BTO: Sm³⁺ nanophosphor, with an average particle size of 80 nm, have been produced by a modified sol gel technique. The synthesized nanophosphors emit a brilliant reddish-orange light when excited at 406 nm. The relative photoluminescence (PL) studies of Sm³⁺ doped BTO and Sm³⁺ doped BTO with K⁺ nanophosphor show that adding K⁺ doubles the intensity of the emitted light and improves the thermal stability in a significant way. The results of the research indicated that using the aforementioned nanophosphor in the future may be advantageous for solid-state lighting systems, including warm LEDs with cyan light chips.
