Eu(Ⅲ) complexes involving 1,3,5-triazine diphosphine oxides

The 1,3,5-triazine diphosphine oxide ligands with donor-acceptor properties formed strong complexes with europium（Ⅲ） ion in acetonitrile. Spectrophotometric titrations and mass spectra indicated that two ligands coordinated to one europium ion. The stability constants varied from 11.64 to 14.60 （log 13）.

Synthesis,Structure and Magnetic Properties of Novel Carboxylato-bridged Pentanuclear Copper(Ⅱ)-Lanthanoid(Ⅲ)Complexes

Six novel pentanuclear complexes [Cu 3Ln 2(ClCH 2CO 2) 12 (H 2O) 8]·2H 2O (Ln=La, Pr, Sm, Gd, Dy, or Er) were synthesized by the reaction of chloroacetic acid with Cu and Ln ions in aqueous solutions. The X ray crystallography established the structure of the Gd complex, which contains a pair of quadruply acetato bridged CuGd dinuclear subunits, and each of them is linked to the central Cu atom by a single acetato bridge. The coordination sphere of each Gd atom is completed by three aqua ligands [Gd-O=0.242 8(5)-0.244 4(4) nm] to form an 8 coordinated distorted square antiprism. The central Cu atom is coordinated by two oxygen atoms from the two bridging acetato groups and two oxygen atoms from the two monodentate acetato groups in a slightly distorted square planar fashion, while each terminal Cu atom is coordinated by the four acetato oxygen atoms at the basal plane and an aqua ligand at the apical position to form a square pyramid. The variable temperature (4 320 K) magnetic susceptibility data of the Gd complex were measured, and fitted to the Curie Weiss law with C =16.38 K cm 3·mol -1 and θ =-1.55 K, indicating very weak antiferromagnetic interaction.

Synthesis and fluorescence properties of Tb(Ⅲ) complexes with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid derivatives

Two novel ligands named 4-styrylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (4-SPDA) and 4-(4-(2-(2, 6-dicarboxypyridin-4-yl)- vinyl)styryl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid(DSPDA) and their complexes with Tb(Ⅲ) were synthesized and characterized by infrared spectrometry, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, elemental analysis and gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry. The ligand synthetic route was optimized. The fluorescence properties of the complex in solid state, in different kind of solvents and in solutions with different pH values were investigated in detail. The results show that the yields of DSPDA and 4-SPDA reach over 78% by Wittig-Horner reaction and other eight pyridine-2, 6-dicarboxylic acid derivatives with different substituents on pyridine ring, and their complexes with Tb(Ⅲ) are also obtained. The fluorescence intensities of the complexes with electron-donating groups are more intense than those of the complexes with electron-withdrawing groups on pyridine ring; fluorescence intensities of the complexes are the strongest in neutral solution (pH=7), and the less the dipole moment of solvent molecule is, the stronger the fluorescence intensity is. It is found that the two ligands (4-APDA and DSPDA) are the good sensitizers for Tb(Ⅲ) ion.

Photodegradation of bisphenol A in Fe(Ⅲ)-oxalate complexes solution

The aqueous photodegradation of bisphenol A （BPA） in the presence of Fe（Ⅲ）-oxalate complexes （Fe（Ⅲ）-Ox）, which are common compositions of natural water, was investigated in this study. BPA underwent rapid indirect photolysis in Fe（Ⅲ）-Ox solution under simulated solar irradiation, proceeding pseudo-first-order kinetics. The photolysis rate increased with decreasing pH or initial BPA level and increasing Fe（Ⅲ）/oxalate concentration ratio. Hydroxyl radicals （·OH）, which were generated from the photochemical processes of Fe（Ⅲ）-Ox complexes and contributed to the photooxidation of BPA, were determined by molecular probe and electron spin resonance （ESR） methods with the steady-state concentration of 2.56 × 10^-14 mol/L. Superoxide anion radical （O2^·-） was considered as the precursor of. OH and qualitatively determined by adding nitro blue tetrazolium as well as ESR experiments. Based on the structural analysis of the intermediate photoproducts of BPA in Fe（Ⅲ）-Ox complexes solution, the possible degradation pathways of BPA were proposed, involving ·OH addition, alkyl scission and alky oxidation. The results indicate that the photochemical reactivity of Fe（Ⅲ） may affect the environmental fate of BPA in natural water significantly.
