Intercalation Assembly, Characterization and Luminescent Properties of Novel Supramolecular Composite Materials, Tb(Ⅲ) Complex with Tetrapodal Ligand-Montmorillonite

Two kinds of Tb（ Ⅲ ） complexes with tetrapodal ligand, [TbL（NO3）]^3＋ and [TbL]^3＋ （L： 1,1, 1＇, 1＇-tera （ 2-pyridinecarboxylester ）-di （ trimethylpropane）） were intercalated into the interlayer space of montmorillonite （MT） by ion exchange and coordination reaction of L with the Tb^3＋ ion existing in the interlayer space of Tb-MT respectively. The obtained luminescent supramolecular composite materials, [ TbL （NO3） ]^2＋-MT and [TbL]^3＋-MT were characterized by elemental analysis, XRD, FT-IR, UV-vis and thermal analysis. At the same time, the luminescent properties of the materials were also studied. The results show that the intercalated materials with regular layered structure, good thermal stability and the interlayer spacing （d001） approximates to the size of the complex ions which are located in the interlayer space of MT in the form of a monolayer.

Synthesis and properties of Tb^(3+) isomultiligand complexes

Four kinds of terbium containing monomers were synthesized by the reaction of Tb isoproxides with acrylic acid and β diketones. The composition and structure of these monomers were confirmed by FT IR, UV spectroscopy and elemental analysis. DTA and TG analyses reveal that the decomposition temperature of these monomers is in the range of 190～200 ℃. The fluorescence properties of these monomers were studied. Under the excitation of UV light, these monomers exhibit characteristic luminescence of terbium ion, the fluorescent intensity is affected by the polarity of solvent and triplet state of ligand. In solid state, the monochromatic index of luminescence is enhanced.

Luminescent Properties of A Novel Terbium Complex Tb(o-BBA)_3(phen)

A novel rare earth complex of terbium ion with 2-benzoylbenzoic acid and 1, 10-phenathroline （Tb（o-BBA）3 （phen）, o-BBA-2-benzoylbenzoic acid, phen = 1, 10-phenathroline） was used as an electroluminescent material for the first time. The Tb complex was blended with poly（N-vinylcarbazole） （PVK） in different weight ratios and spinn to coated into films （noted as PVK ：Tb films）. The photoluminescence （PL） properties of films were investigated and the optimum weight ratio between PVK and Tb（o-BBA）3（phen） was found to be 3：1. Monolayer devices with the structure ITO/PVK： Tb/AI were fabricated and emitted green light, which was characteristic of Tb^3＋ emission. The results show that mecha- nisms for PL and EL are different. The PL is considered to be caused because of energy transfer and direct excitation to the Tb（o-BBA）3（phen） molecule, while EL is mainly on charging trapping.

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.

Determination of alkali-labile phosphoprotein phosphorus from fish plasma using the Tb^(3+)-tiron complex as a fluorescence probe

A sensitive method based on the fluorescence quenching effect of the Tb^3＋-Tiron complex is proposed for the determination of alkali-labile phosphoprotein phosphorus （ALP） released from fish plasma. The detection limit was 5.4 ng/ml （S/N=2）, and the relative standard deviation of the quenching effect （6 replicates） was 4.6%. The results obtained by the proposed method were in good agreement with those obtained by the colorimetric assay. The advantages of the present method are its relatively simple detection procedure, the lack of toxic organic solvents, and high sensitivity.

Synthesis, characterization, and stability of iron (III) complex ions possessing phenanthroline-based ligands

It has previously been demonstrated that phenanthroline-based ligands used to make gold metallotherapuetics have the ability to exhibit cytotoxicity when not coordinated to the metal center. In an effort to help assess the mechanism by which these ligands may cause tumor cell death, iron binding and removal experiments have been considered. The close linkage between cell proliferation and intracellular iron concentrations suggest that iron deprivation strategies may be a mechanism involved in inhibiting tumor cell growth. With the creation of iron (III) phen complexes, the iron binding abilities of three polypyridal ligands [1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 2,9-dimethyl-1, 10-phenanthroline (methylphen), and 2,9-di-sec-butyl-1, 10-phenanthroline (sec-butylphen)] can be tested via a competition reaction with a known iron chelator. Therefore, iron (III) complexes possessing all three ligands were synthesized. Initial mass spectrometric and infrared absorption data indicate that iron (III) tetrachloride complex ions with protonated phen ligands (RphenH+) were formed: [phenH][FeCl4], [methylphenH][FeCl4], [sec-butylphenH][FeCl4]. UV-vis spectroscopy was used to monitor the stability of the complex ions, and it was found that the sec-butylpheniron complex was more stable than the phen and methylphen analogues. This was based on the observation that free ligand was observed immediately upon the addition of EDTA to the [phenH][FeCl4] and [methylphenH] [FeCl4] complex ions.

The kinetics of the periodate oxidation of chromium(III)-complex, [CrIII(NTA)(Ala)(H2O)]-(NTA = Nitrilotriacetate and Ala = ß-alanine) to Cr(VI) have been carried out for the temperature range 15°C - 35°C under pseudo-first order conditions, >>?[complex]. Reaction obeyed first order dependence with respect to and [Cr(III)], and the rate of reaction increases with increasing of pH for the range 3.40 - 4.45. Experimentally, the mechanism of this reaction is found to be consistent with the rate law in which the hydroxo species, [CrIII(NTA)(Ala)(OH)]2- is considerably much more reactive than their conjugate acid. ΔH* and ΔS* have been calculated. It is proposed that electron transfer occurs through an inner-sphere mechanism via coordination of to chromium(III).

Three new heterotrinuclear complexes have been synthesized and characterized, namely {[Gd(L)(2)](2)[Cu(pbaOH)]}(ClO4)(4), where pbaOH denotes 2-hydroxy-1,3-propylenebis(oxamato), L stands for 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO2-phen) or 2,2'-bipyridyl (bpy). The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of ([Gd(phen)(2)(ClO4)](2)[Cu(pbaOH)])(ClO4)(2) has been studied in the 4-300K range, giving the exchange integral J = 6.69 cm(-1). This indicates a weak ferromagnetic interaction between the copper(II) and gadolinium(III) ions.

Kinetics on Thermal Decomposition of Iron(III) Complexes of 1,2-Bis(Imino-4’-Antipyrinyl)Ethane with Varying Counter Anions

A comparative thermal decomposition kinetic investigation on Fe(III) complexes of a antipyrine Schiff base ligand, 1,2-Bis(imino-4’-antipyrinyl)ethane (GA)), with varying counter anions viz. CIO4-, NO3-, SCN-, Cl-, and Br-, has been done by thermogravimetric analysis by using Coats-Redfern equation. The kinetic parameters like activation energy (E), pre-exponential factor (A) and entropy of activation (ΔS) were quantified. On comparing the various kinetic parameters, lower activation energy was observed in second stage as compared to first thermal decomposition stage. The same trend has been observed for pre-exponential factor (A) and entropy of activation (ΔS). The present results show that the starting materials having higher activation energy (E), are more stable than the intermediate products, however;the intermediate products possess well-ordered chemical structure due to their highly negative entropy of activation (ΔS) values. The present investigation proves that the counter anions play an important role on the thermal decomposition kinetics of the complexes.
