Synthesis,Structure, and Fluorescent Properties of Lanthanide Complexes Based on 8‐Hydroxyquinoline‐7‐carboxylic Acid

The lanthanide complex [Eu₃(8‐HQCA)₃(COOH)(OH)₂(H₂O)₃]_n · nH₂O (8‐HQCA = 8‐hydroxyquinoline‐7‐carboxylic acid) was synthesized and characterized. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction shows that the trinuclear structures are linked by ligands to form 2D layers. The results of DFT calculation shows that energy can be transferred effectively from the ligand to Eu^III ions. A series of heteronuclear complexes {[(Eu_1–xY_x)₃(8‐HQCA)₃(COOH) (OH)₂(H₂O)₃]_n · nH₂O (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8)} were synthesized and their luminescent properties were studied. The results showed that the doping of Y^III ions could change the fluorescent intensity of the Eu^III complex, but could not change their positions.     

Mixed-ligand lanthanide complexes constructed by flexible 1,3-propanediaminetetraacetate and rigid terephthalate

Abstract

Coordination polymers (CPs) of mixed-ligand lanthanide complexes [Ln₂(1,3-pdta)(TPA)(H₂O)₂]_n·nH₂O [Ln?=?La, 1; Ce, 2; Pr, 3; Nd, 4] (1,3-H₄pdta = 1,3-propanediaminetetraacetic acid; H₂TPA?= terephthalic acid) were hydrothermally synthesized with flexible 1,3-pdta and rigid TPA ligands. Moreover, lanthanide propanediaminetetraacetates [Ln(1,3-Hpdta)(H₂O)]_2n·nH₂TPA·xH₂O [Ln?=?Sm, 5; Gd, 6] with multi-layered structures were also obtained. In 1–4, both 1,3-pdta and TPA coordinate with lanthanide ions through carboxyl oxygen and nitrogen atoms. In 5 and 6, only 1,3-Hpdta coordinates with the central lanthanide ion, where one nitrogen atom in 1,3-Hpdta is protonated, and TPAs are crystallized as H₂TPA with the central multi-layered structures of [Ln(1,3-Hpdta)(H₂O)]_2n through very strong hydrogen bonds [2.504(4) Å]. Solid-state ¹³C NMR analysis of 1 revealed the coordination of carboxyl groups. However, the methylene groups of 1,3-pdta showed an obvious upfield shift, which can be attributed to the effects of the phenyl ring in TPA ligand. The successful synthesis of these mixed-ligand lanthanides provides a rational design of such lanthanide CPs with flexible and rigid ligands.     

Syntheses, Structures and Thermal Stabilities of Three Novel Lanthanide Coordination Polymers with 6-Hydroxynicotinic Acid

Three novel lanthanide coordination polymers {[Ce₂(HOnic)₄(Onic)₂(H₂O)₂]·6H₂O}_n ( 1 ), {[Ln(HOnic)(Onic)‐ (H₂O)₅·(HOnicH)]·H₂O}_n [HOnicH=6‐hydroxynicotinic acid, Ln=Nd ( 2 ), Pr ( 3 )] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectrum and single crystal X‐ray diffraction. Structure analyses reveal that 1 features a 2D plane structure while compounds 2 and 3 possess a 1D chain‐like polymeric structure. TG analyses indicate that 1 exhibits higher thermostability than 2 and 3 , which was attributed to the layer polymeric structure of 1 .     

Investigation on sonocatalytic damage of BSA under ultrasonic irradiation by Fe<Superscript>III</Superscript> complexes with some aminocarboxylic acid

The interaction of BSA and Fe^III complexes ([Fe^III(gly)(H₂O)₄]²⁺, [Fe^III(ida)(H₂O)₃]⁺, and [Fe^III(nta)(H₂O)₂], gly—glyane, ida—iminodiacetic acid, nta—triglycolamic acid) as well as the sonocatalytic damage to BSA was studied by UV-vis and fluorescence spectra. In addition, the influences of ultrasonic irradiation time and Fe^III complex concentration were also examined on the sonocatalytic damage to BSA. The results showed that the fluorescence quenching of BSA solution caused by the Fe^III complexes belonged to the static quenching process. The BSA and Fe^III complexes interacted with each other mainly through weak interaction and coordinate actions. The binding association constants (K) and binding site numbers (n) were calculated. The results were as follows: K ₁ = 0.5353 × 10⁴ l mol⁻¹ and n ₁ = 0.9812 for [Fe^III(gly)(H₂O)₄]²⁺, K ₂ = 1.4285 × 10⁴ l mol⁻¹ and n ₂ = 1.0899 for [Fe^III(ida)(H₂O)₃, and K ₃ = 0.4411 × 10⁴ l mol⁻¹ and n ₃ = 0.9471 for [Fe^III(nta)(H₂O)₂]. Otherwise, under ultrasonic irradiation the BSA were obviously damaged by the Fe^III complexes. The damage degree rose up with the increase of ultrasonic irradiation time and Fe^III complex concentration. And that, [Fe^III(nta)(H₂O)₂] exhibited in a way higher sonocatalytic activity than [Fe^III(gly)(H₂O)₄]²⁺ and [Fe^III(ida)(H₂O)₃]⁺.

Three new one‐dimensional (1D) chain metal–nitroxide complexes {[Cu(NIT4Py)₂(suc)(H₂O)] · 3H₂O}_n ( 1 ), {[Cd(NIT4Py)₂(suc)(H₂O)] · [Cd(NIT4Py)₂(suc)(H₂O)₂] · 3H₂O}_n ( 2 ), and {[Zn(NIT4Py)(glu)(H₂O)] · H₂O}_n ( 3 ) [NIT4Py = 2‐(4′‐pyridyl)‐4, 4, 5, 5‐tetramethylimidazoline‐1‐oxyl‐3‐oxide, suc = succinate anion and glu = glutarate anion] were synthesized and structurally characterized. Single‐crystal X‐ray analyses indicate that the three complexes crystallize in neutral 1D chains in which the metal‐nitroxide units are linked by flexible dicarboxylate anions. The succinate anions only adopt trans configuration in complexes 1 and 2 , whereas the glutarate anion has gauche/anti conformation in complex 3 . Magnetic measurements show that complex 1 exhibits weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the copper ions and the nitroxides.

Four 3D lanthanide organic frameworks from potassium pyrazine‐2, 3, 5, 6‐tetracarboxylate (K₄pztc) or potassium pyridine‐2, 3, 5, 6‐tetracarboxylate (K₄pdtc), namely, {[KEu(pztc)(H₂O)₂] · H₂O}_n ( 1 ), {[KTb(pztc)(H₂O)₂] · 1.25H₂O}_n ( 2 ), {[KLn(pdtc)(H₂O)] · H₂O}_n [Ln = Gd ( 3 ), Ho ( 4 )], were synthesized by reaction of the corresponding lanthanide oxides with K₄pztc or K₄pdtc in presence of HCl under hydrothermal conditions, and characterized by elemental analysis, TGA, IR and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as X‐ray diffraction. In complexes 1 and 2 , the dodecadentate chelator pztc^4– links four Ln^III ions and four K^I ions. The coordination mode of the pztc^4– ligand is reported for the first time herein.

Hydrothermal Synthesis, Crystal Structures of Three New Metal (Ⅱ) Complexes with 1-Adamantaneacetic Acid

Three new complexes constructed by 1‐adamantaneacetic acid (HL), [Zn₂L₄]_n ( 1 ), [MnL₂(4,4′‐bipy)(H₂O)₂]_n· 2n(HL) ( 2 ) and MnL₂(2,2'‐bipy)(H₂O)₂ ( 3 ), have been hydrothermally synthesized. X‐ray single crystal diffraction analyses reveal that both 1 and 2 are infinite 1D chains along b axis. 2 and 3 have an octahedral coordination and show the supramolecular structures which are formed on the basis of the connectivity of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The deprotonated L^? ligands coordinate the M(II) atoms with many coordination modes in the title complexes.     

Impact of Reaction Conditions on the Structures of Nickel(II) Complexes Based on 3‐(4‐Carboxyphenyl)propionic Acid

Two new nickel(II) complexes, [Ni(4, 4′‐bpy)(H₂O)₄]_n · n(cpp) · 0.5nH₂O ( 1 ) and [Ni(cpp)(4, 4′‐bpy)(H₂O)₂]_n ( 2 ) [4, 4′‐bpy = 4, 4′‐bipyridine, H₂cpp = 3‐(4‐carboxyphenyl)propionic acid] were synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. In complex 1 , Ni^II ions are bridged by 4, 4′‐bpy into 1D chains, and cpp ligands are not involved in the coordination, whereas in complex 2 , cpp ligands adopt a bis(monodentate) mode and link Ni^II ions into 2D (4, 4) grids with the help of 4, 4′‐bpy ligands. Triple interpenetration occurs, which results in the formation of a complicated 3D network. The difference in the structures of the two complexes can be attributed to the different reaction temperatures and bases.

Complexes 1 and 2 crystallize in the monoclinic C₂/c space group, whereas 3 – 6 crystallize in the monoclinic system with space group P2₁/n. In the two kinds of structures, H₃CAM displays two different coordination modes.

Slow diffusion reaction of 2,2′‐dithiodibenzoic acid (dtdb) with CuCl₂ in the presence of N‐donor ligands results in the formation of different coordination polymers where both S–S and C–S scission and oxidation of S is observed. X‐ray diffraction analysis of [Cu(tdb)(phen)(H₂O)]₂ · 2H₂O.2DMF] ( 1 ), [Cu(tdb)(py)₂(H₂O)]₂ ( 3 ), and [Cu(tdb)(bipy)(H₂O)]₂ · 0.5H₂O ( 4 ) (tdb = thiodibenzoic acid, phen = phenanthroline, py = pyridine, bipy = 2,2′‐bipyridine) show that the metal ions are coordinated to the carboxylate oxygen atoms of the in situ generated tdb ligand in a monodenate fashion. In [Cu(phen)(SO₄)₂(H₂O)₂]_n ( 2 ) and [Cu(bipy)(SO₄)₂(H₂O)₂]_n ( 5 ), the sulfur is oxidized to sulfate ions prior to coordination with the metal. Complex 1 has a dimeric structure with π–π interactions between the phen ligands, whereas 3 and 4 form 1D polymeric chains.

Effect of Metal Ions on the Structures of Coordination Polymers Based on Biphenyl‐2,2′,4,4′‐Tetracarboxylate

Two new coordination polymers, {[Cd₂(btc)(2,2′‐bpy)₂] · H₂O}_n ( 1 ) and [Zn₂(btc)(2,2′‐bpy)(H₂O)]_n ( 2 ) (H₄btc = biphenyl‐2,2′,4,4′‐tetracarboxylic acid, 2,2′‐bpy = 2,2′‐bipyridine), were synthesized hydrothermally under similar conditions and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, TGA, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. In complexes 1 and 2 , the (btc)^4– ligand acts as connectors to link metal ions to give a 2D bilayer network of 1 and a 3D metal‐organic framework of 2 , respectively. The differences in the structures are induced by diverging coordination modes of the (btc)^4– ligand, which can be attributed to the difference metal ions in sizes. The results indicate that metal ions have significant effects on the formation and structures of the final complexes. Additionally, the fluorescent properties of the two complexes were also studied in the solid state at room temperature.
