Synthesis,Characterization and Fluorescence Properties of Europium,Terbium Complexes with Biphenyl-4-Carboxylic Acid and o-Phenanthroline

Two series of solid complexes of europium and terbium with biphenyl 4-carboxylic acid and phen were synthesized and characterized in this report. Their elemental analysis, molar conductivities and TG-DTA studies indicate that the complexes have the composition of Eu(phen)L3·1/2H2O, Eu0.5RE0.5(phen) L3·1/2H2O; Tb (phen) L3·H2O and Tb0.5 RE0.5(Phen)L3·1/2H2O. (RE = Y3+, La3+ and Gd3+; L = biphenyl 4-carboxylic acid; phen = o-Phenanthroline). The studies of their IR, UV 1H NMR and molar conductivities demonstrate that biphenyl 4-carboylic acid is bounded with RE (III ) ion. Rare earth ions coordinate with two nitrogen atoms of phen molecules directly in these rare earth complexes. The fluorescence spectra and fluorescence lifetimes of the rare earth complexes show that the fluorescent intensity and lifetime of a series of europium complexes are longer than those of the series of terbium complexes as having the some ligands. There are better fluorescent intensity and lifetime of hetero-nuclear rare earth complexes than homo-nuclear rare earth complexes for europium complexes. The fluorescence emission intensity of Eu3 + is raised by inert fluorescent rare earth ions (Y3+ , Gd3+ and La3+ ), but in Tb3+ hetero-nuclear rare earth complexes the intensity of Tb3+ ions are quenched by the inert fluorescent rare earth ions.

A terbium o-methylbenzoate complex with 1,10-phenanthroline, Tb(o-MBA)_3phen(where o-MBA = o-methylbenzoate and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) was prepared from ethanol solutionand its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal of the complexTb(o-MBA)_3phen belongs to triclinic crystal system and P1 (#2) space group. The crystal data are asfollows: a = 1.4371(4) nm, b = 1.7387(2) nm, c = 1.3109(2) nm, α = 96.37(1)°, β = 107.21(2)°,γ= 82.78(2)°, Ⅴ= 3.094(1) nm^3, Z= 2, M_r = 1489.12, D_c= 1.598 g·cm^(-3), μ = 2.330 mm^(-1)and F(000) = 1488.00. The final R and R_w are 0.038 and 0.047 for 8668 [Ⅰ > 2σ(Ⅰ)] uniquereflections, respectively. In the complex each Tb^(3+) ion is eight-coordinated by one1,10-phenanthroline molecule, one bidentate carboxylate group and four bridging carboxylate groups.The carboxylate groups are bonded to the terbium ion in two modes: the chelating bidentate and thebridging bidentate.

The results of thermalanalysis indicate that the complex Tb(o-MBA)_3phen is quite stable to heat.

Synthesis, Characterization and Fluorescence of Terbium(Ⅲ) Complexes with Phenylglyoxylic Acid and 2,2-Dipyridine, 1,10-Phenanthroline, Triphenyl Phosphine Oxide

Three new complexes TbL3dipy （H2O）2, TbL3phen （H2O） 2 and TbL2 （TPPO） 2NO3 were synthesized （L = phenylglyoxylate ion, dipy = 2, 2-dipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthmline, TPPO = Triphenyl phosphine oxide）. Elemental analysis, conductivity, IR spectra, and ^1HNMR spectra studies were performed. IR spectra indicate that the carboxylate ion of phenylglyoxylate is coordinated to the Tb（Ⅲ） ion as an unidentate ligand. In ^1HNMR, the signals of different hydrogens in phenylglyoxylate ion shift upfield. The excitation and emission spectra of the three solid complexes were recorded at morn temperature, in which the optimum excitation wavelengths are, 361.0, 359.0 and 367.0 nm for these three complexes, respectively.

Under the same conditions, only one emission band due to the ^5D4-^7F5 transition was observed for the complex TbL2（TPPO）2NO3. The emission intensity of TbL3dipy（H2O）2 is the strongest among the three complexes.

By replacing half of the europium or terbium ion with M （M = Zn^2＋, Cd^2＋, and Cr^3＋） using the doped method, and then incorporating it with 18-crown-6 ether and terephthalic acid, six heteronuclear samples EuZnLL＇Cl3·3H2O（1）, EuCdLL2＇Cl3·5H2O（2）, EuCrLL＇Cl4· 4H2O（3）, TbZnLL＇Cl3·4H2O（4）, TbCdLL＇2Cl3·4H2O（5）, and TbCrLL＇2Cl4 ·4H2O（6） （L = terephthalic acid, L＇= 18-Crown-6 ether） were obtained. The elemental analysis, molar conductivities, rare earth complexometry, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy （FT-IR）, ultraviolet （UV）, TGA, fluorescence intensity, and fluorescence lifetime of the samples were measured. The results showed that there were good luminescence properties for heteronuclear complexes （1）, （2）, （4）, and （5）, which were even stronger than those of the homonuclear complexes Eu2LL＇2Cl4·4H2O and Tb2LL＇2Cl4 ·4H2O, but the luminescence properties of EuCrLL＇Cl4·4H2O, TbCrLL＇Cl4·4H2O were very weak. A possible luminescence mechanism was suggested by the organic-inorganic doped mechanism and the law of intramolecular energy transfer.

The XRD patterns showed that the complex is a new kind of crystal. The TEM image indicates that the complex is rod shaped. The rod diameter is about 200 nm, and the length ranges from hundred of nanometer to a few micrometers. In addition, the dispersity is better. TG-DTA curves indicate that the complex is thermally stable before 463℃. Photoluminescence analysis indicates that the complex emits Tb^3＋ characteristic luminescence under ultraviolet excitation.

Synthesis and luminescent properties of ternary complexes of terbium with thenoyltrifluoroacetone and reactive ligand

Three new reactive ternary terbium complexes were synthesized with the first ligand of thenoyltri-(fluoroacetone) and the reactive secondary ligand such as maleic anhydride, undecenoic acid, oleic acid, and characterized by means of elemental analysis, ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid titrimetric method, Fourier transform infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopies. And the luminescent properties of the ternary terbium complexes were investigated. The results show that the ternary terbium complexes possess much higher luminescent intensity than the binary complex of terbium with thenoyltrifluoroacetone, and the synergy ability sequence of the three reactive ligands is as follows: undecenoic acid>oleic acid>maleic anhydride. Because the ternary terbium complexes contain reactive (ligands) that can be copolymerized with other monomers, a new way for the synthesis of the bonding-type rare earth polymer functional materials with excellent luminescent properties is provided.
