Abstract:
In this research, a range of lanthanide complexes incorporating hydrazide
ligands have been synthesized and their photoluminescent sensing, magnetic, and CO2
adsorption properties were investigated.
Three series of lanthanide (III) coordination complexes with hydrazide
ligands have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The first series,
[Ln(bzz)(NO3)(NO3)2] (1Ln; Ln = 1Sm, 2Eu, 3Gd, 4Tb, 5Dy), were obtained by slow
evaporation methods at room temperature and feature a discreate structure. The
complex molecules are assembled into a 3D supramolecular structure via
intermolecular N−HO hydrogen bonds. The complexes in second series,
[Ln(bzz)(ben)3(H2O)]H2O (2Ln; Ln = 6Pr, 7Nd, 8Sm, 9Eu, 10Gd, 11Tb, 12Dy, 13Er), were
synthesized by hydrothermal methods at 110 oC. The bzz ligands occurred in situ
generated to benzoate (ben) ligands and both bzz and ben ligands are bridged the central
Ln3+ ions to form a one-dimensional (1D) polymeric chain. The third series of the
complexes, [Ln3(ben)3] (3Ln; Ln = 14Eu, 15Gd, 16Tb, 17Dy, 18Er, 19Tm, 20Yb, 21Lu), were
also formed at 145 oC by using hydrothermal method. The bzz ligand was found to be
completely hydrolyzed to generate the ben ligand under hydrothermal conditions. The
coordination assemblies feature a 1D zigzag chain built up by a low coordination number of the 6- and 7-fold of Ln3+ centers. It is interesting that 2Ln can be transformed
into the 3Ln structure upon heating at 400 °C Moreover, the Eu- and Tb-containing
complexes have shown red and green luminescence emissions in the solid state at room
temperature under UV radiation. They could be used as fluorescent probes for the
selective detections of acetone and Co2+ ions. Concurrently, the Gd (10Gd, 15Gd) and
Dy (12Dy, 17Dy) based complexes exhibit weak antiferromagnetic interactions between
the central Ln3+ ions.
Furthermore, two novel lanthanide complexes bearing the bzz and ben
ligands, [Sm2(bzz)(ben)6(H2O)3]0.5H2O (22Sm) and [Eu(bbz)(ben)3)] (23Eu), were
synthesized through in situ ligand formation under hydrothermal conditions. Complex
22Sm displays a 1D double-chain structure, while complex 23Eu exhibits a 3D channel
with a 4-connected (66) dia topology. High-pressure CO2 sorption of 22Sm at 298 K was
found to be 376.7 cm3 g-1 (42.5 wt%) under a pressure of 50 bar. Whereas, 23Eu exhibits
red emission in a solid state at room temperature
