Crystallographic and vibrational spectroscopic studies of octakis(DMSO)lanthanoid(III) iodides

The octakis(DMSO) (DMSO = dimethylsulfoxide) neodymium(III), samarium(III), gadolinium(III), dysprosium(III), erbium(III), and lutetium(III) iodides crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/n (No. 14) with Z = 4, while the octakis(DMSO) iodides of the larger lanthanum(III), cerium(III), and praseodymium(III) ions crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pbca (No. 61), Z = 8. In all [Ln(OS(Me2)8]I3 compounds the lanthanoid(III) ions coordinate eight DMSO oxygen atoms in a distorted square antiprism. Up to three of the DMSO ligands were found to be disordered and were described by two alternative configurations related by a twist around the metal-oxygen (Ln-O) bond. To resolve the atomic positions and achieve reliable Ln-O bond distances, complete semirigid DMSO molecules with restrained geometry and partial occupancy were refined for the alternative sites. This disorder model was also applied on previously collected data for the monoclinic octakis(DMSO)yttrium(III) iodide. At ambient temperature, the eight Ln-O bond distances are distributed over a range of about 0.1 A. The average value increases from Ln-O 2.30, 2.34, 2.34, 2.36, 2.38, 2.40 to 2.43 A (Ln = Lu, Er, Y, Dy, Gd, Sm, and Nd) for the monoclinic [Ln(OSMe2)8]I3 structures, and from 2.44, 2.47 to 2.49 A (Ln = Pr, Ce, and La) for the orthorhombic structures, respectively. The average of the La-O and Nd-O bond distances remained unchanged at 100 K, 2.49 and 2.43 A, respectively. Despite longer bond distances and larger Ln-O-S angles, the cell volumes are smaller for the orthorhombic structures (Ln = Pr, Ce, and La) than for the monoclinic structure with Ln = Nd, showing a more efficient packing arrangement. Raman and IR absorption spectra for the [Ln(OS(CH3)2)8]I3 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Er, Lu, and Y) compounds, also deuterated for La and Y, have been recorded and analyzed by means of normal coordinate methods. The force constants for the Ln-O and S-O stretching modes in the complexes increase with decreasing Ln-O bond distance and show increasing polarization of the bonds for the smaller and heavier lanthanoid(III) ions.     

X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopic studies of Octakis(DMSO)lanthanoid(III) complexes in solution and in the solid iodides

Octakis(DMSO)lanthanoid(III) iodides (DMSO = dimethylsulfoxide), [Ln(OS(CH3)2)8]I3, of most lanthanoid(III) ions in the series from La to Lu have been studied in the solid state and in DMSO solution by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. L3-edge and also some K-edge spectra were recorded, which provided mean Ln-O bond distances for the octakis(DMSO)lanthanoid(III) complexes. The agreement with the average of the Ln-O bond distances obtained in a separate study by X-ray crystallography was quite satisfactory. The crystalline octakis(DMSO)lanthanoid(III) iodide salts have a fairly broad distribution of Ln-O bond distances, ca. 0.1 A, with a few disordered DMSO ligands. Their EXAFS spectra are in excellent agreement with those obtained for the solvated lanthanoid(III) ions in DMSO solution, both of which show slightly asymmetric distributions of the Ln-O bond distances. Hence, all lanthanoid(III) ions are present as octakis(DMSO)lanthanoid(III) complexes in DMSO solution, with the mean Ln-O distances centered at 2.50 (La), 2.45 (Pr), 2.43 (Nd), 2.41 (Sm), 2.40 (Eu), 2.39 (Gd), 2.37 (Tb), 2.36 (Dy), 2.34 (Ho), 2.33 (Er), 2.31 (Tm), and 2.29 A (Lu). This decrease in the Ln-O bond distances is larger than expected from the previously established ionic radii for octa-coordination. This indicates increasing polarization of the LnIII-O(DMSO) bonds with increasing atomic number. However, the S(1s) electron transition energies in the sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra, probing the unoccupied molecular orbitals of lowest energy of the DMSO ligands for the [Ln(OS(CH3)2)8](3+) complexes, change only insignificantly from Ln = La to Lu. This indicates that there is no appreciable change in the sigma-contribution to the S-O bond, probably due to a corresponding increase in the contribution from the sulfur lone pair to the bonding.     

Selective preconcentration of trace thorium from aqueous solutions with Th(IV)-imprinted polymers prepared by a surface-grafted technique

A novel ion-imprinted adsorbent for selective solid phase extraction of thorium(IV) based on the surface of silica gel was prepared by a surface-grafted technique with methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer. After removal of Th(IV) ions with 3?mol?L^?1 HCl solution, the obtained imprinted particles for Th(IV) exhibited specific recognition and relatively rapid kinetic process. The maximum static and total dynamic adsorption capacity of the ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) for Th(IV) was 33.2 and 17.3?mg?g^?1, respectively. A comparison of the selectivity coefficient of the imprinted polymers with that of non-imprinted polymers showed that the imprinted matrix for Th(IV)/U(VI), Th(IV)/Ce(III), Th(IV)/La(III) and Th(IV)/Zr(IV) was 58.8, 107, 106.4 and 151.7 times greater than non-imprinted matrix, respectively. With a series of samples loading flow rate of 3?mL?min^?1 for preconcentration, an enrichment factor of 14.6 and the detection limit of 0.59?µg?L^?1 were obtained. The relative standard deviation of the method under optimum conditions was 2.1% (n?=?7). The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of trace Th(IV) in real water samples with satisfactory results.     

Study on adsorption behavior of cesium using ammonium tungstophosphate (AWP)-calcium alginate microcapsules

A functional microcapsule was prepared by encapsulating the fine crystalline ammonium tungstophosphate(AWP) in calcium alginate polymer(CaALG).The characterization of AWP-CaALG microcapsule was examined by SEM and EPMA.The adsorption behavior of Cs(I),Rb(I),Sr(II),Pd(II),Ru(III),Rh(III),La(III),Ce(III),Dy(III) and Zr(IV) was investigated by the batch method.The batch experiments were carried out by varying the shaking times,HNO 3 concentration,and initial concentration of metal ions.Relatively large K d values above 10 5 cm 3 /g for Cs(I) were obtained in the range of 0.1-5 M HNO 3,resulting in a separation factor of Cs/Rb exceeding 10 2.In contrast,the K d values of Sr(II),Pd(II),Ru(III),La(III),Dy(III),Ce(III) and Zr(IV) were considerably lower than 50 cm 3 /g.The K d value of Cs(I) decreased in the order of the coexisting ions,H + > Na + >> NH 4 +,and a linear relationship with a slop of about 1 was obtained between log K d and log [NH 4 + ]([NH 4 + ] > 0.01 M).The adsorption of Cs(I) was found to be controlled by chemisorption mechanism,and followed a Langmuir-type adsorption equation.A high uptake percentage of 99.4% for Cs(I) was obtained by using the dissolved solutions of spent fuel from FBR-JOYO(JAEA).     

Molecular design of crown ethers. 21.(1,2) synthesis of novel double-armed benzo-15-crown-5 lariats and their complexation thermodynamics with light lanthanoid nitrates in acetonitrile

Three new disubstituted benzo-15-crown-5 derivatives (3-5) have been synthesized from 4',5'-bis(bromomethyl)benzo-15-crown-5 (2) and the corresponding alkanols in the presence of Na(2)S(2), and their complexation thermodynamics with light lanthanoid(III) nitrates (La-Gd) have been studied in anhydrous acetonitrile at 25 degrees C. Plots of K(S) against the reciprocal ionic diameter of lanthanoid exhibited monotonically declining pattern for the parent benzo-15-crown-5 (1) and 3 but showed a characteristic peak at Ce(3+) for 4 and 5. It is interesting to note that the simple extension of the alkyl side chains in 4 and 5 can alter the cation selectivity profiles of 1 and 3. Possessing two 2-oxapropyl groups, 3 gave a comparable K(S) for La(3+) but a significantly decreased K(S) for Ce(3+) compared with the corresponding values for 1, thus exhibiting an exceptionally high La(3+)/Ce(3+) selectivity of 11. Thermodynamically, the complexation of lanthanoid perchlorates with 1 is absolutely entropy-driven in acetonitrile, while the complexation of lanthanoid nitrates with 3-5 is primarily driven by exothermic enthalpy changes with accompanying moderate entropic gain or small entropic loss.     

2-(5-Bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol as a reagent for the spectrophotometric determination of La(III), Y(III), and Ce(III)

The complexes of the reagent 5-Br-PADAP with the metal ions La(III), Ce(III), and Y(III) have been studied.The composition and stability of these complexes have been determined. A sensitive spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of the metal ions La(III), Ce(III), and Y(III) has been proposed. The limitations of this procedure and the effect of other ions have been studied.     

Hydrated structures and dehydration processes of lanthanoid(III) chloranilates studied by EXAFS

The local structures of lanthanoid(III) chloranilate complexes of Pr(III), Nd(III), Tb(III) and Er(III) have been studied by EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure). Hydrated structures of the lanthanoid(III) ions in these complexes have been investigated with respect to their coordination numbers and interatomic distances. Six or four water molecules coordinate to the lanthanoid(III) ion of Pr(III) or Nd(III), respectively, just after preparation of the complexes. The temperature dependence of the first coordinated structures has been studied in order to reveal the behavior of the coordinated water molecules in dehydration process. The coordination number around the central lanthanoid(III) ion decreases stepwise as temperature increases, depending on the type of central lanthanoid(III) ion present. The interatomic distance between the central lanthanoid(III) ion and oxygen atoms in the first shell decreases, accompanying the decrease of the coordination numbers. A parameter representing proportion shows the reduction of interatomic distance as one coordinated water molecule removes from the central ion, depending on the type of lanthanoid(III) ions.     

Complexes of the Lighter Lanthanoid Nitrates with 15-crown-5 and 18-crown-6 ethers: Synthesis and characterization

Complexes of lanthanoid trinitrates Ln(NO₃)₃ with 15-crown-5 ether 1 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd) and with 18-crown-6 ether 2 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd) having a 1:1 stoichiometry as well as 4:3 complexes with 2 (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd) have been synthesized and characterized. All the isolated complexes are solvent free. At 170–220° the 1:1 complexes of 2 are quantitatively transformed into 4:3 complexes. X-Ray powder diagrams of the neodymium complexes with 2 indicate that both the 1:1 and 4:3 complexes are genuine compounds. All the 1:1 complexes show a characteristic IR. absorption band at 875–880 cm^?1 absent from both the spectra of the free ligands and of the 4:3 complexes. The spectroscopic properties (IR. and electronic spectra, fluorescence lifetimes) of the complexes and the low magnetic moments of the Ln(III) ions in the complexes with Ln = Ce-Eu are indicative of a strong interaction between the lanthanoid ions and the crown ethers 1 and 2 .     

Coordination polymers based on inorganic lanthanide(II) sulfate skeletons and an organic isonicotinate N-oxide connector: segregation into three structural types by the lanthanide contraction effect

Fourteen three-dimensional coordination polymers of general formula [Ln(lNO)(H2O)(SO4)]n, where Ln = La, 1.La; Ce, 2.Ce; Pr, 3.Pr; Nd, 4.Nd; Sm, 5.Sm; Eu, 6.Eu; Gd, 7.Gd; Tb, 8.Tb; Dy, 9.Dy; Ho, 10.Ho; Er. 11.Er; Tm, 12.Tm; Yb, 13.Yb; and Lu, 14.Lu; INO = isonicotinate-N-oxide, have been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions of Ln3+, MnCO3, MnSO4 x H2O, and isonicotinic acid N-oxide (HINO) at 155 degrees C and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR, thermal analysis, luminescence spectroscopy, and the magnetic measurement. The structures are formed by connection of layer, chain, or dimer of Ln-SO4 by the organic connector, INO. They belong to three structural types that are governed exclusively by the size of the ions: type I for the large ions, La, Ce, and Pr; type II for the medium ions, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, and Tb; and type III for the small ions, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu. Type I consists of two-dimensional undulate Ln-sulfate layers pillared by INO to form a three-dimensional network. Type II has a 2-fold interpenetration of "3D herringbone" networks, in which the catenation is sustained by extensive pi-pi interactions and O-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds. Type III comprises one-dimensional chains that are connected by INO bridges, resulting in an alpha-Po network. The progressive structural change is due to the metal coordination number decreasing from nine for the large ions via eight to seven for the small ions, demonstrating clearly the effect of lanthanide contraction. The sulfate ion acts as a micro4- or micro3-bridge, connecting two, three, or four metals, and is both mono- and bidentate. The INO ligand acts as a micro3- or micro2-bridge with carboxylate group in syn-syn bridging or bidentate chelating mode. The materials show considerably high thermal stability. The magnetic properties of 4.Nd, 6.Eu, 7.Gd, and 13.Yb and the luminescence properties of 6.Eu and 8.Tb are also investigated.     

Lanthanide polyoxocationic complexes: experimental and theoretical stability studies and Lewis acid catalysis

The [ε-PMo(V)(8)Mo(VI)(4)O(36)(OH)(4){Ln(III)(H(2)O)}(4)](5+) (Ln=La, Ce, Nd, Sm) polyoxocations, called εLn(4), have been synthesized at room temperature as chloride salts soluble in water, MeOH, EtOH, and DMF. Rare-earth metals can be exchanged, and (31)P NMR spectroscopic studies have allowed a comparison of the affinity of the reduced {ε-PMo(12)} core, thus showing that the La(III) ions have the highest affinity and that rare earths heavier than Eu(III) do not react with the ε-Keggin polyoxometalate. DFT calculations provide a deeper insight into the geometries of the systems studied, thereby giving more accurate information on those compounds that suffer from disorder in crystalline form. It has also been confirmed by the hypothetical La→Gd substitution reaction energy that Ln ions beyond Eu cannot compete with La in coordinating the surface of the ε-Keggin molybdate. Two of these clusters (Ln=La, Ce) have been tested to evidence that such systems are representative of a new efficient Lewis acid catalyst family. This is the first time that the catalytic activity of polyoxocations has been evaluated.     

Mixed chelates of some trivalent lanthanide ions containing (trans-1,2-cyclhexylenedinitrilo)tetraacetate and norleucinate

Summary Formation constants of mixed chelates with (trans-1,2-cyclohexylenedinitrilo)tetra-acetate (DCTA) as primary ligand and norleucinate (nle) as secondary ligand with metal ions La(III), Ce(III), Pr(III), Sm(III), Gd(III), Tb(III), Dy(III), Er(III), and Yb(III) have been determined by the modified potentiometricpH titration method of Irving-Rossotti in aqueous medium at (295±1) K and fixed ionic strength of =0.1M (NaClO₄). Formation constants of binary complexes of the metal ions with the secondary ligand have also been determined under identical conditions. The mixed chelates were found to be more stable than the binary ones. The order of stabilities in terms of metal ions is La(III)Gd(III)

A Ce3+-imprinted functionalized potassium tetratitanate whisker sorbent prepared by surface molecularly imprinting technique for selective separation and determination of Ce3+

A surface molecular imprinting technology was developed to adsorb Ce(III) ions that showed much higher adsorption affinity and selectivity for than for other metal ions. The batch adsorption process was studied with respect to effects of pH value, residence time, temperature, and initial concentration of Ce(III) ion. The maximum adsorption capacity is 43 mg g^?1 at an initial Ce(III) concentration of 300 mg L^?1 and at a sorbent dosage of 1.0 g L^?1. A Langmuir isotherm fits the experimental data. The imprinted sorbent exhibits a much higher separation and selectivity for the target imprinted ion than the non-imprinted polymer. Cerium ion can be desorbed with 1M hydrochloric acid solution which is also proven by scanning electron microoscopy and X-ray diffraction experiments. The limit of detection is 37 ng mL^?1. The sorbent has been applied to the determination of trace cerium in different environmental samples with satisfactory results.     

Synthesis and applications of surface-grafted Th(IV)-imprinted polymers for selective solid-phase extraction of thorium(IV)

A new functional monomer N-(o-carboxyphenyl)maleamic acid (CPMA) was synthesized and chosen for the preparation of surface-grafted ion-imprinted polymers (IIPs) specific for thorium(IV). Polymerizable double bond was introduced to silica gel surface by amidation reaction between -NH₂ and maleic anhydride. In the ion-imprinting process, thorium(IV) was complexed with the carboxyl groups, then was imprinted in the polymers grafted to the silica gel surface. The imprinted Th(IV) was removed with 3 mol L⁻¹ HCl. The obtained imprinted particles exhibited excellent selectivity and rapid kinetics process for Th(IV). The relatively selective factor (α_r) values of Th(IV)/La(III), Th(IV)/Ce(III), Th(IV)/Nd(III), Th(IV)/U(VI), and Th(IV)/Zr(IV) were 85.7, 88.9, 26.6, 64.4, and 433.8, respectively, which were greater than 1. The precision (R.S.D.), the detection limit (3σ), and the quantification limit (10σ) of the method were 1.9%, 0.51 ng mL⁻¹ and 1.19 ng mL⁻¹, respectively. The prepared IIPs as solid-phase extractants were successfully applied for the preconcentration of trace thorium in natural and certified samples prior to its determination by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) with satisfactory results.     

Metal‐imprinted microsphere prepared by surface template polymerization and its application to chromatography

A metal ion‐imprinted microsphere was prepared by surface molecular template polymerization. Trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM), zinc ions, 1,12‐dodecanediol‐O, O′‐diphenyl phosphonic acid (DDDPA) were used as a crosslinking agent, an imprint molecule, and a functional host molecule. The Zn(II)‐imprinted microspheres, which are spherically well‐defined particles, were prepared by using water‐in‐oil‐in‐water (W/O/W) multiple emulsions. The combination of TRIM and DDDPA serves to align the recognition sites resulting in better template sites produced on the polymer surface. We firstly conducted diagnostic zinc‐ and copper‐ion adsorption tests with the Zn(II)‐imprinted and unimprinted microspheres in order to make an assessment on the effectiveness of the molecular imprinting technique. Further, the metal‐imprinted microspheres were applied to the column operation. The separation and recovery of metals were carried out by an adsorption column packed with the Zn(II)‐imprinted microspheres. This performance was compared to that of commercial chelating resins that possess similar phosphoric functional groups. The Zn(II)‐imprinted polymer shows an extremely high selectivity to the imprinted zinc ions compared to that of the commercial chelating resin. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Structures and properties of porous coordination polymers based on lanthanide carboxylate building units

A series of 3-D lanthanide porous coordination polymers, [Ln(6)(BDC)(9)(DMF)(6)(H(2)O)(3)·3DMF](n) [Ln = La, 1; Ce, 2; Nd, 3], [Ln(2)(BDC)(3)(DMF)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n) [Ln = Y, 4; Dy, 5; Eu, 6], [Ln(2)(ADB)(3)(DMSO)(4)·6DMSO·8H(2)O](n) [Ln = Ce, 7; Sm, 8; Eu, 9; Gd, 10], {[Ce(3)(ADB)(3)(HADB)(3)]·30DMSO·29H(2)O}(n) (11), and [Ce(2)(ADB)(3)(H(2)O)(3)](n) (12) (H(2)BDC = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid and H(2)ADB = 4,4'-azodibenzoic acid), have been synthesized and characterized. In 1-3, the adjacent Ln(III) ions are intraconnected to form 1-D metal-carboxylate oxygen chain-shaped building units, [Ln(4)(CO(2))(12)](n), that constructed a 3-D framework with 4 × 7 ? rhombic channels. In 4-6, the dimeric Ln(III) ions are interlinked to yield scaffolds with 3-D interconnecting tunnels. Compounds 7-10 are all 3-D interpenetrating structures with the CaB6-type topology structure. Compound 11 is constructed by ADB spacers and trinulcear Ce nodes with a NaCl-type topology structure and a 1.9-nm open channel system. In 12, the adjacent Ce(III) ions are intraconnected to form 1-D metal-carboxylate oxygen chain-shaped building units, [Ln(4)(CO(2))(12)](n), and give rise to a 3-D framework. Moreover, 6 exhibits characteristic red luminescence properties of Eu(III) complexes. The magnetic susceptibilities, over a temperature range of 1.8-300 K, of 3, 6, and 7 have also been investigated; the results show paramagnetic properties.     

Enantiomeric Resolution on L—Carnitine Selective Polymers Prepared by Molecular Imprinting

L-carnitine selective polymers were prepared by molecular imprinting using methacrylic acid as the functional monomer. The acid function of the monomer is expected to form hydrogen bond and ionic interactions with the amine function of the target molecule L-carnitine.The imprinted polymers were used as stationary phases in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It was shown that L-carnitine imprinted polymer exhibited a higher affinity to its template molecule,while the non-imprinted polymer had no affinity to the compounds tested. Racemic carnitine hydrochloride was efficiently resolved on the L-carnitine imprinted polymer, and the separation factor is 1.9.     

Solvent extraction of lanthanoid/III/ with 18-crown-6 from aqueous trichloroacetate solutions to 1,2-dichloroethane

Extraction behaviour of lanthanoid/III/ has been investigated by using 18-crown-6/CR/ as a neutral microcyclic ligand, trichloroacetate/TCA^–/ as an anionic counter ion, and 1,2-dichloroethane as an organic solvent. From the equilibrium studies, the extractable complex such as LnCR³⁺ was found for La/III/, Ce/III/, Pr/III/, Nd/III/, Sm/III/, and Eu/III/ and also the formation of Ln/CR/ ₂ ³⁺ complexes was suggested for Tb/III/, Tm/III/, and Lu/III/. The extractability of lanthanoid/III/ steeply decreased with increase in the atomic number. This order of extractability was a reverse trend compared with that in many other extraction systems reported so far. Very high separation factors especially among light lanthanoid/III/ were observed.

Synthesis and binding site characteristics of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol-imprinted polymers

2,4,6-Trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP)-imprinted micro- and submicrospheres prepared by precipitation polymerization were compared with templated materials obtained by conventional bulk polymerization. The influence of the type and amount of functional monomer, the type and amount of cross-linker, polymerization temperature, porogen, and the ratio of template molecule and functional monomer to cross-linker on the size of the obtained particles were investigated. UV-Vis spectrophotometer experiments revealed that the microsphere polymers provided higher affinity to the template in contrast to imprinted polymers prepared by bulk polymerization. The binding properties of the microspheres, including binding isotherms and affinity distribution, were studied via Freundlich isotherm affinity distribution (FIAD) analysis. The obtained results indicated that microspheres prepared by precipitation polymerization provided superior rebinding properties during equilibrium binding in contrast to bulk polymers and submicrosphere polymers. Moreover, release experiments showed that 80% of rebound 2,4,6-TCP was released from the imprinted microspheres within the first 2 h, while more intimately bound 2,4,6-TCP molecules were released in the following 40 h. The morphologies and porosities of the resulting imprinted materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, respectively. The microsphere polymers exhibited a regular spherical shape with a high degree of monodispersity to the corresponding bulk polymers. Furthermore, the micro- and submicrospheres were characterized by narrow distribution of pores in contrast to a heterogeneity index of m = 0.6647 for the microsphere imprinted polymer.     

稀土(III)-冠醚配位反应的热力学性质I:稀土(III)高氯酸盐与苯-15-冠-5-在乙腈溶液中配位反应的量热滴定研究

用量热滴定法于298.15K测定了除钪、钷以外的全部十五种稀土(III)高氯酸盐与苯并-15-冠-5在乙腈溶液中的配位作用。借助计算机算出了配合物的稳定常数和配位焓, 进而算出了配位自由能和配位熵。结果表明:十五种稀土(III)离子与苯并-15-冠-5都可以配位, 配位焓为正值;La^3^+配合物最稳定, Ce^3^+次之, 其余稀土(III)离子配合物稳定性变小, 但彼此差别不大, 在Tb处有突变;熵在配合物形成时起稳定化作用。
