Two novel lanthanide 1-D chain coordination polymers of pyridinedicarboxylic acids: hydrothermal synthesis, structure and luminescent properties

Two novel lanthanide coordination polymers [Sm(Hdipic)(dipic)(H₂O)₂·4H₂O]_n (1) (H₂dipic=2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid) and [Dy(Hdinic)(dinic)(phen)(H₂O)·H₂O]_n (2) (H₂dinic=2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid) have been synthesized under hydrothermal condition and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results reveal that both of them form a chain-like one-dimensional structure. The photophysical properties for the two complexes have been also reported. Complex 1 shows the characteristic luminescence of central Sm³⁺ while complex 2 exhibits the particular emission ascribed H₂dinic ligands, which suggest the different energy transfer process takes place.     

Solution enthalpies of hydrates LnCl3·xH2O (Ln=Ce–Lu)

Trichlorides of the lanthanide elements Ln=Ce–Lu form: (a) isotypic hexahydrates LnCl₃·6H₂O with a coordination number (CN) 8 for the Ln³⁺ ions. (b) Two isotypic groups of trihydrates LnCl₃·3H₂O, in the first group Ln=Ce-Dy the CN is 8; the structure of the second group Ln=Er–Lu is unknown. With Ho no trihydrate exists; a dihydrate is formed. (c) Two isotypic groups of monohydrates LnCl₃·H₂O with unknown structure – Ln=Ce–Dy and Ln=Ho–Lu. For all compounds and for anhydrous chlorides LnCl₃ solution enthalpies were measured with an isoperibolic calorimeter. The Δ_solH⁰ values do not depend only on the difference (lattice enthalpies/hydration enthalpies), but also on the state in solution. According to Spedding the CN of the Ln³⁺ ions against water changes from 9 to 8 between Nd and Sm, causing minima in the series of solution enthalpies. Dihydrates LnCl₃·2H₂O are found for Ln=Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and presumably for Eu and Gd. They are not yet well characterised.

Thermochemical properties of Ln(Gly)4Im(ClO4)3·nH2O (Ln = Gd, Tb, Dy, Y)

The enthalpies of dissolution in water of new ternary complexes of four late trivalent lanthanide ions Ln(Gly)₄Im(ClO₄)₃·nH₂O (Ln=Gd, Tb, Dy, Y; Gly: glycine; Im: imidazole and n=1 or 2) were measured by means of a Calvet microcalorimeter. Empirical formulae for the calculation of the enthalpies of dissolution (Δ_dissH), relative apparent molar enthalpies (Δ_dissH (app)), relative partial molar enthalpies (Δ_dissH (partial)) and enthalpies of dilution (Δ_dilH_1,2) were obtained from the experimental data of the enthalpies of dissolution of these complexes. The plot of Δ_dissH_m^Θ, Δ_dissH (app) and Δ_dissH (partial) versus the values of the ionic radius of the lanthanide element (r) showed a grouping effect of the lanthanide elements, indicating that the coordinated bond between the lanthanide ions and the ligands has some covalent character. The unknown value of the standard enthalpy of dissolution for the similar complex: Ho(Gly)₄Im(ClO₄)₃·H₂O was estimated according to the plot of Δ_dissH_m^Θ versus r.     

Infrared study of νOD modes in isotopically dilute (HDO) isostructural compounds M(HCOO)2·2H2O (M=Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Cu,Zn) with matrix-isolated guest ions (Cu in M(HCOO)2·2H2O and M in Cu(HCOO)2·2H2O)

The infrared spectra of isotopically dilute (matrix-isolated HDO molecules) isostructural compounds M(HCOO)₂·2H₂O (M=Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Zn,Cu) are presented and discussed in the region of the OD stretching modes. According to the structural data the compounds under study are divided into two groups: in M(HCOO)₂·2H₂O (M=Mn,Ni,Zn) the H₂O(1) molecules form stronger hydrogen bonds as compared to H₂O(2); in M(HCOO)₂·2H₂O (M=Fe,Co,Cu) the H₂O(2) molecules form stronger hydrogen bonds as compared to the H₂O(1) molecules. The influence of the metal–water interactions (synergetic effect) and the unit-cell volumes (repulsion potential of the lattice) on the hydrogen bond strength within the isostructural series is discussed. The wavenumbers of the uncoupled OD stretching modes of the HDO molecules influenced by guest ions (Cu²⁺ ions matrix-isolated in M(HCOO)₂·2H₂O and M²⁺ ions matrix-isolated in Cu(HCOO)₂·2H₂O) are presented and commented. For example, the analysis of the spectra reveals that when Cu²⁺ ions are included in the structure of M(HCOO)₂·2H₂O the hydrogen bonds of the type M–OH₂OCHO–Cu are considerably weaker as compared to those of the same type formed when M²⁺ ions are included in the structure of Cu(HCOO)₂·2H₂O if the cations remain unchanged.

The coordination polymers crystallize in monoclinic space group C/2c with a=19.838(16), b=10.529(8), c=17.752(14) Å, β=107.503(14)° for (1), with a=19.823(7), b=10.552(4), c=17.762(6) Å, β=107.443(6)° for (2), with a=19.770(4), b=10.519(2), c=17.698(4) Å, β=107.52(3)° for (3), with a=19.632(2), b=10.492(2), c=17.617(3) Å, β=107.470(12)° for (4), with a=19.648(7), b=10.480(3), c=17.598(6) Å, β=107.502(6)° for (5), respectively. And the metal ions (Ln³⁺) are located in nine-member coordination environment. The carboxyl groups from 5-hydroxyisophthalate chelate the metal ions to form 1D helical cation chains. It is interesting that these helical cation chains are arranged to form 2D anion–cation layers by the uncoordinated ligands' anions as template. And the luminescence properties of the rare-earth ions are studied in the paper.

Comparison of optical properties and crystal structures of the praseodymium and europium chloroderivatives of acetates

The praseodymium and europium dichloroacetates were obtained in the form of monocrystals. Crystal structures of the Ln(HCl₂CCOO)₃·2H₂O (Ln=Pr, Eu) compounds were determined by X-ray analysis. Both crystals proved to be isomorphous. They are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n with: a=9.747(6), b=13.857(7), and c=23.595(9) Å, β=95.03(4)°, U=3175(3) Å³, Z=8 for C₆H₇Cl₆O₈Pr and a=9.634(7), b=13.757(11), and c=23.524(14) Å, β=94.84(4)°, U=3107(4) Å³, Z=8 for C₆H₇Cl₆O₈Eu. There are two symmetry independent lanthanide cations, which adopt a nine-coordinate geometry with seven oxygen atoms from carboxylate groups and two oxygen atoms from water molecules. Absorption (Pr³⁺, Eu³⁺), emission and emission excitation (Eu³⁺) spectra of single crystals of Ln(HCl₂CCOO)₃·2H₂O were recorded at room temperature and low temperatures down to 4.2 K. Spectral intensities of the investigated systems are parametrized in terms of the Judd–Ofelt theory and compared to those of lanthanide trichloroacetates and acetates crystals. The relationship between the hypersensitivity and covalency is discussed. The nephelauxetic ratio β and Sinha's parameter δ are calculated based on the absorption spectra. The variation of these parameters and their correlation with the nature of metal–ligand bond is discussed. The bond polarity and bond strength of coordination complex determine the activity and stereospecifity of the catalyst thus the study of these properties are very important because of the application of lanthanide carboxylates as precursors of catalysts. The spectroscopic results are correlated with those from the crystal structure studies, especially with Ln–O distances and the co-ordinating forms of the carboxylate ions. The vibronic coupling in the f–f transitions were analysed. In order to determine the vibronic coupling quantitatively, calculations of the R=I_VIB./I_0-phonon rates were performed from the low temperature absorption spectra. The correlation between the vibronic coupling and covalency is analysed.
