The extraction system was described quantitatively using the equilibria involved to derive the mathematical explanation for the two linear log D vs pHe plots for each metal ion extraction curve, and coordination numbers could also be extracted from the two slopes. The lack of separation was attributed to the absence of stereochemical “tailor making” since the complexes isolated from the reaction of the ligand, bis((1H-benzimidazol- 2-yl)methyl)amine (NNN), with base metals suggested the formation of similar octahedral complex species from spectral and crystal structure evidence. The bis tridentate coordination observed was in agreement with information extracted from the extraction data. This investigation opens up an opportunity and an approach for the evaluation of amines as extractants but cautions against tridentate ligands.展开更多

Crystal structure of the ligand revealed the ＂keto＂ form of ligand in solid state other than the ＂enor＇ one, and it was also found that two kinds of molecules with different conformations were connected by hydrogen bonding between amide N-H and phos- phoryl P=O. This ionic ligand was used to coordinate a variety of lanthanide ions, forming neutral 3：1 complexes. Absolute overall quantum yields of these complexes in solid states were 36% for Eu（III）, 29% for Tb（III） and 3% for Dy（III） with lifetimes of 1.1, 1.1 and 0.087 ms, respectively. The complexes had excellent thermal stability and did not decompose till 370 ℃. And they could subli- mate in vacuum （1 ×10^-4 Pa） at 330℃ due to the weak molecular interaction.展开更多

Complex 1 is a centrosymmetric dimer with two copper（H） centers, two py ligands and two L2- ligands. Each L2- ligand donates its azomethine nitrogen and one of the phenolate groups to one copper（Ⅱ） ion and shares the other phenolate group between the two copper（H） ions, affording a Cu2O2 plane. Each copper（Ⅱ） center has a slightly distorted square pyramidal geometry with a bridging phenolate group at the apex. Magnetic studies suggest the presence of a weak ferromagnetic interaction Via two phenoxo bridges. The magnetic susceptibility data （2-300 K） of complex 1 were analyzed by means of H = -2JS1S2 -DSz. The least-squares fitting of the data to the theoretical equation leads to J = 10.3 cm-1, g = 2.03, D = 0.67 cm-1 and R = ∑（Xobsd -Xcalcd）2/∑Xobsd2= 2.76 × 10^-3.展开更多

Structural and spectroscopic analyses reveal [Co(L)2)]SCN to be monomeric with Cobalt(III) adopting a pseudo-octahedral geometry, coordinating to two reduce Schiff base ligands. In the crystal lattice, the thiocyanate anion forms an intermolecular SCN···HNamine hydrogen bond, while adjacent monomers are linked by intermolecular Ocarboxyl···HNamine···H-bonds to form a supramolecular network. This work is therefore undertaken in an attempt to construct coordination framework structures of varying properties using the mixed-ligand strategy involving reduced Schiff bases and the thiocyanate ion.展开更多
