And there is a kind of medicament which can replace the cerium nitrate gremor completely in treating burn.

Highly Luminescent Host-Guest Systems Based on Zeolite L and Lanthanide Complexes

Supramolecular incorporation of lanthanide complex has been obtained by loading of organic ligand into Eu3+-exchanged zeolite L. This was achieved by a two-step procedure: (1) zeolite L was ion-exchanged with Eu(Ⅲ) ions; (2) organic ligand was then loaded into the channels of the Eu3+-exchanged zeolite by gas diffusion procedure. Loading of ligand into the channels of zeolite L was confirmed by element analysis. Luminescence spectroscopy has confirmed that lanthanide complex are formed in the nanochannels of zeolite L crystals. In addition to the sharp emissions of lanthanide ions, broad band ranged from 350～500 nm can also be observed. This study provides alternative method for fabricating full-color display materials.

Lanthanide Complex [Nd(dpdo)_4(H_2O)_3][ClO_4]_3·4.5H_2O·dpdo Containing Framework Based on 4,4′-Dipyradine-Dioxide

A novel lanthanide coordination polymer formulated as [Nd(dpdo) 4(H 2O) 3] 3·4.5H 2O·dpdo 1(dpdo=4,4′-dipyrazine-dioxide) was synthesized and structurally characterized. The Nd 3+ ions are bridged by dpdo ligands in a cis-mode to form a zigzag chain along direction. Meanwhile, each Nd 3+ ion is coordinated with three terminal dpdo molecules. One of them is overlapped with the bridging one through π-π stackings, and the other two are bound to the opposite directions of the bridging ones, producing a ribbon-like motif with rectangular cavity. These adjacent ribbons are connected through inter-molecular π-π stackings to give parquet-like architecture with a large rectangular channel (1.108 nm×1.660 nm) in which the crystal lattice water molecules and ClO 4 - anions are included. Thermal analysis shows that the solvate dpdo and water molecules can be removed at lower temperature, while coordinated dpdo molecules are lost simultaneously at higher temperature.

Circularly polarized luminescence of lanthanide complexes:From isolated individuals,discrete oligomers,to hierarchical assemblies

Circularly polarized luminescence(CPL)is the emission featured spatial orientation equivalent to circular dichroism.Owning to the unique magnetic dipole-allowed but electric-dipole-forbidden 4f→4f transitions,chiral lanthanide complexes have been recognized as ideal candidates to achieve unprecedented luminescence dissymmetry factor(glum).Their inherent electric-dipole-forbidden transition can be partly allowed,through the rational design of coordination ligands to lower the surrounding symmetry,further endowing them with relatively high quantum yields(QYs).Moreover,the blossom of supramolecular chemistry in lanthanide complexes allows for the construction of discrete oligomers and hierarchical assemblies,rendering them with enhanced chiroptical activities.Here,we deploy this review by summarizing recent advances in the chiroptical properties of lanthanide complexes,spanning multiple scales from isolated mononuclear individuals,discrete polynuclear oligomers,to infinite hierarchical assemblies.We first introduce the basic concept and several important parameters for the assessment of CPL activity.Then,isolated mononuclear lanthanide complexes coordinated with different types of antennas,along with the unique chirality transfer and induction in achiral lanthanide complexes were discussed.Next,the systematical discussion on chiroptical properties in discrete polynuclear lanthanide oligomers and infinite hierarchical lanthanide assemblies was presented.Meanwhile,the state-of-the-art applications of CPL-active lanthanide complexes were revisited.We end up this review with the conclusion and prospects,involving the rational design of ligands,directed and hierarchically precise self-assembly,and extending applications of chiral lanthanide complexes.

Synthesis and spectral characterization of lanthanide complexes with 1,2-diphenyl-4-butyl-3,5-pyrazolidinedione: Luminescent property of Tb(Ⅲ) complex

The complexes of rare earth elements with 1,2-diphenyl-4-butyl-3,5-Pyrazolidinedione （PBH, phenylbutazone） were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, IR, UV-Vis, EPR and magnetic moment measurements. Based on these studies the complexes were formulated as [Ln（PB）3（H2O）2].nH2O, where Ln=Eu（III）, Gd（III）, Tb（III）, Dy（III） and Er（III）. From IR spectra, it was found that PBH acted as a bidentate mono-ionic ligand coordinating through two carbonyl oxygen of the pyrazolidinedione ring. The thermal analysis of all the complexes was carried out at a heating rate of 10 oC/min. The kinetic aspects of the complexes were evaluated. The nega-tive entropy value of the complexes indicated a more ordered state for the activated complexes. The photoluminescence property of Tb（III） complex was investigated. It showed all the characteristic emission peaks of Tb^3＋ with a life time of 0.98914 ms.

Structure regulation for ultra-high luminescence quantum yield lanthanide complex and simultaneous detection of cancer marker and ferrous ion

The exploitation of a highly selective and sensitive probe to detect both cancer marker and metal ion is of great importance.In this work,the "one stone two bird" agent of 1,10-phenanthroline(phen) is designed to disrupt the polymeric lanthanide MOFs(LnMOFs,[Ln(CHO_(2))_(3)]n,Ln=Tb,la;Eu,1 b,CHO_(2)=formic acid) {[Ln(CHO_(2))_(4)·(C_(2) H_(8) N)]n,Ln=Y,2 a;Gd,2 b;Dy,2 c,C_(2)H_(8) N=dimethylamine}) into a soluble mononuclear species [Ln(phen)_(2)(NO_(3))_(3),Ln=Tb,3 a;Eu,3 b] as well as to provide an antenna for efficient photons absorption,resulting in an ultra-high luminescence quantum yield(QY,90%) europium complex.The luminescence QY is among the highest record of monomeric(zero-dimensional) lanthanide complexes.Furthermore,mononuclear Tb3+complex(3 a) functions as a multiplex sensor towards both Fe^(2+)and cancer marker of 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid(5-HIAA).Importantly,the limit of detection(LOD)for sensing 5-HIAA is an ultra-sensitive value of 1 × 10 s mol/L,which is even lower than that necessary for the early diagnosis of carcinoid tumors.More interestingly,sensing results in simulated urine reveals that 3 a has potential application for early diagnosis in the clinic.

Synthesis, characterization, cytotoxicity, DNA cleavage and antimicrobial activity of homodinuclear lanthanide complexes of phenylthioacetic acid

Lanthanide complexes of Eu（III）, Gd（III）, Nd（III）, Sm（III）, and Tb（III） with phenylthioacetic acid were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, mass, infrared radiation （IR）, electronic spectra, molar conductance, thermogravimetric analysis （TGA）, and powder X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The results showed that the lanthanide complexes were homodinuclear in nature. The two lanthanide ions were bridged by eight oxygen atoms from four carboxylate groups. Thermal decomposition profiles were consis- tent with the proposed formulations. Powder XRD studies showed that all the complexes were amorphous in nature. Antimicrobial studies indicated that these complexes exhibited more activity than the ligand itself. The DNA cleavage activity of the ligand and its complexes were assayed on CT DNA using gel electrophoresis in the presence of H202. The result showed that the Eu（Ⅲ） and Nd（Ⅲ） complexes completely cleaved the DNA. The anticancer activities of the complexes were also studied towards human cervical cancer cell line （HeLa） and colon cancer cells （HCT116） and it was found that the Eu（Ⅲ） and Nd（Ⅲ） complexes were more active than the corresponding Gd（Ⅲ）, Sm（Ⅲ）, Tb（Ⅲ） complexes and the free ligand on both the cancer cells.
