A novel carbazole functionalized β-diketone, methyl 6-（9-ethylcarbazole-3-yl）-oxoacetyl-2-pyridinecarboxylate （MEP）, and its corresponding binary Eu（III） complexes Eu（MEP）y2H2O and ternary complex Eu（MEP）aPhen with 1,10-Phenanthroline （Phen） were prepared. The ligand was characterized based on elemental analysis, FT-IR, and ^1H NMR, and the complexes were characterized with elemental analysis, FT-IR and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis （TG-DTA）. The investigation of fluorescence properties of the complexes Eu（MEP）3·2H2O and Eu（MEP）3Phen showed that the Eu（III） ion could be sensitized efficiently by the ligand to some extent, in partitular, in the ternary system, the secondary ligand Phen acting as a light-harvesting center was involved in the highly efficient energy transfer process, and the emission was stronger than the binary complex. In addition, the introduction of the carbazole moiety enlarged the n-conjugated system of the ligand and enhanced the luminescent intensity of the complexes.

Design, Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Photoluminescence Properties of Four New Europium (III) Complexes with Fluorinated β-Diketone Ligand

The strong photoluminescence properties of europium complexes with organic ligands attracted the attention of many researchers and found a wide range of uses in medical, industrial and biological fields. In this article, four new Tetrakis europium complexes 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d have been prepared using 1-phenyl-4,4,4-trifluoro-1,3-butenedionato ligand and pyridinium, bipyridinium, piperazinium and piperidinium counter cations. These complexes have been characterized by negative FAB-mass. The crystal structures of 3a, 3b, 3c and 3d were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The complex 3a crystallized in monoclinic form, space group P21/n with four molecules in the unit cell. The complex 3b crystallized in monoclinic form, space group P2/n with two complex molecules in the unit cell. The complex 3c crystallized in monoclinic form, space group C2/c with sixteen molecules in the unit cell. The complex 3d crystallized in monoclinic form, space group P21/n with four complex molecules in the unit cell. The complex 3a has 1,2-alternative structure, 3b has 1,3-alternative structure, 3c has cone like structure and 3d has partial cone like structure. The photoluminescence properties of these complexes have been evaluated. Strong red emissions were observed in all four complexes due to 5D0 → 7F2 transition of Europium (III) ions under UV excitation. Four β-diketone ligands acted as strong antenna ligands and transferred the absorbed energy to europium (III) ion effectively;consequently strong red luminescence was observed.

SYNTHESIS AND MESOMORPHIC PROPERTIES OF FISHBONE-LIKE LIQUID CRYSTALLINE POLYSILSESQUIOXANES——Ⅰ. FISHBONE-LIKE, β-DIKETONE-BASED LIQUID CRYSTALLINE POLYSILSESQUIOXANES AND THEIR COPPER COMPLEXES

Two kinds of fishbone-like, β-diketone-based liquid crystalline polysilsesquioxanes(FBDKLCP'S), homopolymeric (H-FBDKLCP) and copolymeric (C-FBDKaLCP) have been first synthesized via the hydrosilylation reaction of a vinyl-terminated β-diketone with the homopolymeric ladderlike polyhydrosilsesquioxane (LPHSQ) and random copolymethylhydrosilsesquioxane (LRPMHSQ) respectively. These new kinds of FBDKLCP with M of 10~4 is thermotroic liquid crystalline polymer and its clearing temperatures T_i's and mesophase range △T's are much higher than those of the corresponding comb-like β-diketone liquid crystalline polysiloxane (DKLCP) by about 200℃. Similar results have been observed with the comparison of the two different structure Cu-coordinating compounds The significant increases in T_((?))'s and △T's of the FBDKLCP and Cu-FBDKLCP are mainly attributed to the great rigidity of the ladderlike polysilsesquioxane backbone.

Gold （III） Complexes with Thiolactate and bis-（1,4-Sodiumthiolactate） Butane Ligands

The new ligand bis-（1,4-sodium thiolactate） butane （L）-O2CCH3S-（CH2）4SCHCH3CO2- has been prepared from the reaction of disodium salt of thiolactic acid and 1,4-dichlorobutane, while the disodium thiolactate was prepared instanteously through the reaction of thiolactic acid with NaOH. Mono and dinuclear complexes were obtained by direct reaction of the above ligands with H[AuCI4] in 1 ： 1, 2：1, 1：2, 2：2 and 3：1 ligands to metal molar ratio. The prepared complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, spectral studies FTIR （Fourier transform Infrared） and UV-Vis, magnetic measurement, conductivity measurement and IHNMR for the ligand （L） and some of the complexes. The conductance data indicate that the complexes of the formulas Na[Au（SCH3CHCOO）2], Na[Au（SCH3CHCOO）（OOCCHCH3SH）2] and [Au（L）]Cl are 1：1 electrolyte. Electronic spectra and magnetic moment values indicate the presence of square planner geometry around Au（III） ions.

The investigation of fluo...

Syntheses, Crystal Structure and Photoluminescence Properties of Piperidinium Tetrakis (1,3-Diphenyl-1,3-Propanedionato) Europate(III) Complex and Its Two Different Crystals

Treatment of 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione 1a with europium (III) chloride in the presence of piperidine results in the halide ligands exchange giving newly piperidinium tetrakis (1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedionato)europate(III) complex 2a. The complex was characterized by 1H-NMR, positive FAB-mass, and Elemental Analysis. The exact molecular structure of 2a was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction with the monoclinic space group Cc (centrosymmetric, No.13). The large cavity sizes of the complex 2a facilitated the inclusion of water and benzene solvate molecules. The other two different crystals 2b, 2c having two water molecules and one benzene moleculewere obtained by the crystallization in different solvents and the exact molecular structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis with space groups P21/n (centrosymmetric, No.14), and P21/n (centrosymmetric, No.14), respectively. The eight coordinate structures of the complexes in the three crystals were slightly different due to the crystal packing and the existence of the solvent molecule(s). The photoluminescence studies indicated that four β-diketone ligands acted as strong antenna ligands and transferred the absorbed energy to europium (III) ion, consequently red luminescence was observed. These strong emissions wereattributed to the 5D0 → 7F2 transition of Europium (III) ions under UV excitation. The photoluminescence spectrum of the three crystals was almost same in solid as well as in solution.

Quadruple-stranded Eu-helicate Assembled from Bis-β-diketonate： Its Stability Towards Metal Ions

Herein, we reported the synthesis and investigation of highly luminescent quadruple-stranded helicate （C6H 16N）4[Eu2（MBDA）4]2·3 C4H10O.4C2H 3N（ 1-Eu） [H2M B DA=N-methyl-4,4＇-b i s（4,4,4-tri fl uoro-1,3-dioxob utyl）di- phenylamine] for its stability toward metal ions in the solution. The material was characterized via X-ray crystallo- graphic technique, Fourier transform infrared（FTIR） spectroscopy and electrospray ionization quadrapole time-of- flight（ESI-TOF） mass spectrometry. The results on the luminescence quantum yields clearly demonstrate that the ligand can effectively sensitize the luminescence of the Eu3＋ ions（φoverall=15%）. Upon the addition of different metal ions（i, e., Ag＋, Cd2＋, Zn2＋, Fe3＋, A13＋ and Ni2＋） to the CH3CN solution of compound I-Eu, the emission intensities of Eu3＋ ions at 612 nm were affected to some extent, which could be attributed to the presence of ion exchanges between Eu3＋ ions and the metals ions, and the result was confirmed by ESI-TOF mass spectrometry.

Water-induced luminescence improvement in a lanthanide β-diketone complex for monitoring water purity

Water-caused luminescence quenching is a well-known and intractable issue for luminescence lanthanide complexes, greatly confining their broad application as sensing and displaying devices in water system.Herein, an anionic and coordination-saturated lanthanide complex with a nanosheet-like structure has been prepared. It exhibits excellent photophysical properties both in solid state and in aqueous suspension. Noteworthily, a 13% improvement for sensitization efficiency from organic ligand to central lanthanide ion has been realized, indicating an exceptional phenomenon of water-induced luminescence improvement which is rarely reported previously. Moreover, the aqueous suspension of as-prepared luminophore could act as a chemo-sensor responding to various organic solvents in water. Both of waterinduced luminescence improvement and extended sensing behavior in this work provide a new platform for developing highly performant and practical luminescent materials in the water system.
