Synthesis,Fluorescence and Magnetic Properties of a New Europium(Ⅲ) Complex Eu(C_(14)H_9O_3)_2(C_(12)H_8N_2)_2(NO_3)

A new europium(III)complex Eu(C_(14)H_9O_3)_2(C_(12)H_8N_2)_2(NO_3)has been synthesized with 2-benzoylbenzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline as ligands.Crystal data for the complex are as follows:monoclinic,space group P2_1/c,a=9.6733(6),b=22.9521(14),c=19.7701(12)?,β=94.9800(10)o,V=4372.8(5)?~3,D_c=1.557 g/cm~3,Z=4,μ(Mo Kα)=1.501 mm~(-1),F(000)=2064,the final R=0.0214 and w R=0.0510.The Eu(III)ion is coordinated by ten atoms to give a bicapped square antiprism coordination geometry.The complex shows two intense fluorescence emission bands arising from the transitions of Eu~(3+):~5D_0→~7F_1(594 nm)and ~5D_0→~7F_2(618 nm).In addition,its X_(m )T decreases from 1.29767 cm~3?mol~(-1)?K at 300 K to 0.01531 cm~3?mol~(-1)?K at 2 K.
