Crystal structures and thermal decomposition mechanism of four lanthanide complexes with halogen-benzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

This paper describes syntheses and structure determination of four lanthanide complexes [Nd(2-Cl-4-FBA) 3 phen] 2 (1, 2-Cl-4-FBA = 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoate, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), [Ln(2,5-DClBA) 3 phen] 2 (Ln = Sm(2) and Tb(3), 2,5-DClBA = 2,5-dichlorobenzoate) and [Sm(2-Cl-4,5-DFBA) 3 (phen)(H 2 O)] 2 (4, (2-Cl-4,5-DFBA = 2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzo- ate). The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared and ultraviolet spectra, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. In the molecular structures of 1 4, two Ln 3+ ions are linked by four carboxyl groups, with two of them in a bridging bidentate mode and the other two in a bridging-chelating tridentate mode, forming four binuclear molecules. In addition, each Ln 3+ ion is also chelated to one phen molecule and one carboxyl group in the complexes, except each Sm 3+ ion in 4 which is bonded to one carboxyl group by unidentate mode and one H 2 O molecule. There are two different coordination polyhedrons for each Nd 3+ ion in the two similar molecular structures of 1 and they are a distorted monocapped square antiprismatic and a distorted tricapped triangular prism conformation, respectively. The coordination polyhedron for each Ln 3+ ion in 2 4 is a nine-coordinated distorted mono-capped square antiprismatic conformation. The complex 3 exhibits green luminescence under the radiation of UV light. The thermal decomposition behaviors of the complexes have been discussed by simultaneous TG/DSC-FTIR technique. The 3D surface graphs for the FTIR spectra of the evolved gases were recorded and the gaseous products were identified by the typical IR spectra obtained at different temperatures from the 3D surface graphs. Meanwhile, we discussed the nonisothermal kinetics of 1 4 by the integral isoconversional non-linear (NL-INT) method.     

Crystal structures and thermal decomposition kinetics of lanthanide complexes with 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

A series of lanthanide complexes with the 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid(3,4,5-tmoba) and 1,10-phenanthroline(phen),[Ln(3,4,5-tmoba) 3 phen] 2(Ln = Pr(1),Nd(2) and Ho(3)),have been synthesized and characterized by a series of techniques including elemental analysis,IR spectra,X-ray crystallography and TG/DSC-FTIR technology.The three complexes have two kinds of coordination modes,in which the Pr 3+ and Nd 3+ cations are nine-coordinated and the Ho 3+ cation is eight-coordinated.The three-dimensional IR accumulation spectra of gaseous products for complexes 1-3 were analyzed and the gaseous products were identified by the typical IR spectra obtained from the 3D surface graphs.Meanwhile,we obtained the activation energy E of the first steps of complexes 1-3 by the integral isoconversional non-linear(NL-INT) method and discussed the non-isothermal kinetics of complexes 1-3 using the Malek method.Finally,SB(m,n) was defined as the kinetic method of the first-step thermal decomposition.The thermodynamic parameters △G≠,△H≠ and △S≠ of activation at the peak temperature were also calculated.     

Crystal structures,luminescence, and thermal properties of lanthanide complexes with 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

The complexes of [Ln(2,3,4-tmoba)₃phen]₂ (Ln = Dy (1), Eu (2), Tb (3); 2,3,4-tmoba = 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzoate; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were synthesized and characterized by a series of techniques including the elemental analysis, IR and fluorescent spectra and TG/DSC-FTIR technology. The crystal structures were determined by X-ray crystallography. Each complex include two Ln³⁺ ions, six 2,3,4-tmoBA and two phen molecules forming a binuclear structure, giving the coordination number of nine. The three-dimensional IR accumulation spectra of gaseous products for the complexes 1 to 3 are analyzed and the thermal decomposition processes are further authenticated. Through means of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), two solid-solid phase transition endothermic peaks were found in the complex 2, which was different from the complexes 1 and 3. The heat capacities of these complexes were measured and fitted to a polynomial equation with the least squares method for each complex on the basis of the reduce temperature x (x = [T − (T_max + T_min)/2]/[(T_max − T_min)/2]) over the range from (256.15 to 476.15) K. Subsequently, the smoothed molar heat capacities and thermodynamic functions (H_T−H_298.15 K), (S_T−S_298.15 K), and (G_T−G_298.15 K) of the complexes 1 to 3 were calculated based on the fitted polynomial of the heat capacities. The fluorescent intensity of the complexes 2 and 3 are markedly improved as well.     

Preparation and thermal properties of lanthanide complexes with 2,3-dichlorobenzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

Three lanthanide complexes with a general formula [Ln(2,3-DClBA)₃phen]₂ (Ln(III) = Eu(1), Tb(2), Ho(3); 2,3-DClBA = 2,3-dichlorobenzoate; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, infrared and ultraviolet spectra and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The luminescent properties of the complexes 1 and 2 were studied. The thermal behaviors of the complexes were also discussed by thermogravimetric (TG), differential thermogravimetric (DTG) and infrared spectra (IR) techniques. The heat capacities of the complexes were measured from 259.15 to 493.02 K by means of Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The dependence of heat capacity on the reduce temperature x (x = [T ? (T_max + T_min)/2]/[(T_max ? T_min)/2]) was fitted to a polynomial equation with the least squares method for each complex. Furthermore, based on the fitted polynomial, the smoothed heat capacities and the derived thermodynamic functions (H_T ? H_298.15 K), (S_T ? S_298.15 K) and (G_T ? G_298.15 K) in the measured temperature range were obtained with an interval of 10 K.     

Syntheses,characterization and thermal properties of the lanthanide complexes with 2-mercaptonicotinic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

Fourteen new complexes with the general formula of Ln(Hmna)₃(phen) (H₂mna = 2-mercaptonicotinic acid and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and thermogravimetric analyses. In addition, molar specific heat capacities were determined by a microcalorimeter at 298.15 K. The IR spectra of the complexes showed that the Ln³⁺ coordinated with the oxygen atoms of H₂mna and the nitrogen atoms of phen. The complexes decomposed directly to oxides Ln₂O₃, CeO₂, Pr₆O₁₁, and Tb₄O₇ in one step. The values of molar specific heat capacities for fourteen solid complexes were plotted against the atomic numbers of lanthanide, which presented as “tripartite effect”. It suggested a certain amount of covalent character existed in the bond of Ln³⁺ and ligands, according with nephelauxetic effect of 4f electrons of rare earth ions. The article is published in the original.     

Crystal structures,thermal behavior and biological activities of lanthanide compounds with 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

Five new binuclear lanthanide compounds [Ln(2,4-DClBA)3phen]2(Ln = Pr(1), Eu(2), Tb(3), Ho(4) and Er(5); 2,4-DClBA = 2,4-dichlorobenzoate; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. And all of them were carefully investigated by elemental analysis, molar conductance, IR, UV and TG/DSC-FTIR technology. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed that compounds 1–5 were binuclear molecules with an inversion center and the Ln3+ ions contained two kinds of coordination environment that was a distorted monocapped square-antiprism in the compounds 1–2, and a distorted square-antiprism geometry in the compounds 3–5. The 3D surface graphs for the FTIR spectra of gaseous products for the compounds 1–5 were recorded using simultaneous TG/DSC-FTIR technique which is intended to further analysis of the thermal decomposition processes. Hence the gaseous products were identified by the solved single IR spectra obtained at different temperatures from the 3D surface graphs. Furthermore, the Eu(Ш) and Tb(Ш) ternary compounds exhibited intense luminescence under the radiation of UV light. And the results for antimicrobial test show that these compounds exhibit good bacteriostatic activity against Staphylococcus aureus, and better antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Candida albicans.

Three lanthanide complexes with mixed salicylate and 1,10-phenanthroline: syntheses,crystal structures,and luminescent/magnetic properties

Three new lanthanide complexes incorporating salicylate (HSA or SA) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), Ln₃(HSA)₅(SA)₂(phen)₃ [Ln = Ho (1) and Er (2)], and Sm₂(HSA)₂(SA)₂(phen)₃ (3), have been synthesized. X-ray structural analysis reveals that 1 and 2 are isostructural with a trinuclear pattern, and 3 exhibits a binuclear structure. Comparison of the structural differences between 1/2 and 3 suggests that the identity of metal plays an important role in construction of such complexes. The magnetic properties of 1 are discussed. Moreover, 2 and 3 are both photoluminescent materials, and their emission properties are closely related to their corresponding Ln^III centers.     

Synthesis,structure and luminescence properties of two novel lanthanide complexes with 2-fluorobenzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

Two lanthanide complexes with 2-fluorobenzoate (2-FBA) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The structure of each complex contains two non-equivalent binuclear molecules, [Ln(2-FBA)₃?·?phen?·?CH₃CH₂OH]₂ and [Ln(2-FBA)₃?·?phen]₂ (Ln?=?Eu (1) and Sm (2)). In [Ln(2-FBA)₃?·?phen?·?CH₃CH₂OH]₂, the Ln³⁺ is surrounded by eight atoms, five O atoms from five 2-FBA groups, one O atom from ethanol and two N atoms from phen ligand; 2-FBA groups coordinate Ln³⁺ with monodentate and bridging coordination modes. The polyhedron around Ln³⁺ is a distorted square-antiprism. In [Ln(2-FBA)₃?·?phen]₂, the Ln³⁺ is coordinated by nine atoms, seven O atoms from five 2-FBA groups and two N atoms of phen ligand; 2-FBA groups coordinate Ln³⁺ ion with chelating, bridging and chelating-bridging three coordination modes. The polyhedron around Ln³⁺ ion is a distorted, monocapped square-antiprism. The europium complex exhibits strong red fluorescence from ⁵D₀?→?⁷F _j ( j?=?1–4) transition emission of Eu³⁺.     

Synthesis, crystal structure and properties of two 1D nano-chain coordination polymers constructed by lanthanide with pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline

The hydrothermal reactions of LnCl₃·6H₂O (Ln=Eu, Tb), pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylic acid (3,4-pydaH₂), 1,10-phenthroline (phen) and NaOH in aqueous medium yield two metal-organic hybrid materials, [Eu₂(3,4-pyda)₃(phen)(H₂O)·H₂O]_n (1) and [Tb₂(3,4-pyda)₃(phen)(H₂O)·H₂O]_n (2), respectively. Both compounds have similar topology structure containing one-dimensional nano-chain, which is further assembled into a three-dimensional supramolecular network via π-π stacking interactions and hydrogen bonds. To the best of our knowledge, they represent the first example of nano-chain coordination polymers constructed by 3,4-pydaH₂ and chelate heterocylic ligand. Interestingly, the 3,4-pyda anion exhibits three kinds of coordination modes in these complexes. The coordination modes of 3,4-pyda in complexes 1 and 2 have not been observed in other coordination polymers containing 3,4-pyda ligands. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit strong fluorescent emission bands in the solid state at room temperature. Their magnetic analyses show that they exhibit different magnetic interactions.

Three dimeric rare-earth complexes [Eu(p-FBA)₃(phen)(H₂O)]₂ (1), [Tb(p-FBA)₃phen]₂ (2), and [Tb(o-FBA)₃phen]₂ (3) (where p-FBA = p-fluorobenzoate, o-FBA = o-fluorobenzoate, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were synthesized and structurally characterized. All are neutral dimeric molecules. Complex 1 crystallizes in triclinic system, space group P 1. Each Eu(III) ion is eight-coordinate with one 1,10-phenanthroline, one monodentate carboxylate, one water and four bridging carboxylates. Complex 2 crystallizes in triclinic system, space group P 1. Each Tb(III) is also eight-coordinate with one 1,10-phenanthroline molecule, one bidentate chelating carboxylate and four bridging carboxylates. Complex 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c and consists of two crystallographically different binuclear molecules. Tb(III) ions are eight-coordinate with one 1,10-phenanthroline, one bidentate chelating carboxylate and four bridging carboxylates in both of them. Complex 1 shows bright red luminescence, 2 and 3 show green luminescence under UV light at room temperature. Thermal analysis indicates that are all quite stable to heat.     

Study of isothermal decomposition of lanthanide mixed complexes with 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanodione and 1,10-phenanthroline

Isothermal decomposition kinetic of three lanthanide mixed complexes with the general formula of Ln(thd)3phen (where Ln=Nd³⁺, Sm³⁺ or Er³⁺, thd=2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanodione and phen=1,10-phenanthroline) has been studied in this work. The powders were characterized by their melting point, elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. The isothermal TG curves have been recorded under the same conditions at 265–285, 265–285 and 250–270°C for Nd(thd)₃phen, Sm(thd)₃phen and Er(thd)₃phen, respectively. The kinetic parameters, i.e. activation energy, reaction order and frequency factor were obtained through the technique of lineal regression using the relation g(α)=kt+g ₀. The analysis was done at decomposed fractions between 0.10–0.90. The values of activation energy were: 114.10, 114.24 and 115.04 kJ mol^–1 for the Nd(thd)₃phen, Sm(thd)₃phen and Er(thd)₃phen complexes, respectively. The kinetic models that best described the isothermal decomposition reaction the complexes were R1 and R2. The values of activation energy suggests the following decreasing order of stability: Nd(thd)₃phen<Sm(thd)₃phen<Er(thd)₃phen.     

Photophysical properties of lanthanide complexes with 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline

Abstract  

Five novel lanthanide (Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, Sm³⁺, Dy³⁺, and Gd³⁺) complexes with 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (phenNO₂) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV, and luminescence spectra. The triplet state energy of phenNO₂ was determined to be 20,048 cm⁻¹ via the phosphorescence spectra of phenNO₂ and its gadolinium complex. The photophysical properties of these complexes indicated that the triplet state energy of the ligand is suitable for the sensitization of the luminescence of Eu³⁺ and Sm³⁺, especially the former.     

Crystal structures and thermodynamic properties of lanthanide complexes with 2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzoate and 1,10-phenanthroline

A series of lanthanide complexes with the 2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzoate (2-cl-4,5-dfba) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), have been synthesized with the formulae of [La(2-cl-4,5-dfba)₃phen]_n·nH₂O (1), [Nd(2-cl-4,5-dfba)₃phenH₂O]₂ (2), [Ln(2-cl-4,5-dfba)₃phen]₂ (Ln = Eu (3), Ho (4)). The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, infrared and fluorescent spectra and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The structures of the four complexes are very different. Complex 1 is an infinite 1D chain polymeric structure formed by the asymmetric units with the mirror growth pattern. Each La³⁺ ion is coordinated to four bridging carboxylic groups, two tridentate chelating–bridging carboxylic groups, simultaneous with one phen molecule, giving the coordination number of nine. In the molecular structures of complexes 2 and 3, two Ln³⁺ ions are linked by four carboxyl groups, forming two binuclear molecules. In addition, each Nd³⁺ ion in complex 2 is bonded to one H₂O molecule and one carboxyl group by monodentate mode, one phen molecule by bidentate chelating, and each Eu³⁺ ion is also chelated to one phen molecule and one carboxyl group in complex 3. And in complex 4, the Ho³⁺ ion yields a eight-coordinated distorted square anti-prism coordination geometry. The three-dimensional IR accumulation spectra of gaseous products for complexes 1 to 4 are analyzed and further authenticated the thermal decomposition processes with TG-DTG curves. The heat capacities of complexes 2 to 4 are measured and fitted to a polynomial equation by the least squares method on the basis of the reduced temperature x (x = [T−(T_max + T_min)/2]/[(T_max − T_min)/2]). Then the smoothed molar heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of complexes 2 to 4 are calculated. The fluorescence intensity of complex 3 is markedly improved as well.     

Synthesis,crystal structures,and characterization of copper(II) carboxylate complexes incorporating 1,10-phenanthroline and bipyridine

A series of Cu(II) carboxylate complexes (carboxylate?=?2-fluorobenzoic acid (2-HFBA) or 4-fluorobenzoic acid (4-HFBA)) containing either one chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and thermal analyses. In [Cu(bipy)(H₂O)(2-FBA)₂] (1), [Cu(bipy)(H₂O)(4-FBA)₂] (3), and [Cu(phen)(H₂O)(2-FBA)₂] (4), Cu is five-coordinate in a square pyramidal geometry and four-coordinate in [Cu(phen)(2-FBA)₂] (2). The four complexes are extended into 1-D chains through hydrogen-bonding and π?···?π interactions in 1 and 4, only hydrogen-bonding in 2, and π?···?π interactions in 3. These contacts lead to aggregation and supramolecular self-assembly.

The La(III), Eu(III) and Nd(III) are nine-coordinate with a distorted tricapped trigonal-prism geometry.
