Six new complexes [Eu(tta)(3)](2)bpm, [Er(tta)(3)](2)bpm, [Tb(tta)(3)](2)bpm, [Er(tta)(3)](2)dpp, Pr(tta)(3)bpm and Nd(tta)3bpm (tta = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedione, bpm = 2,2'-bipyrimidine, dpp = 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine) were prepared and studied. The electronic absorption spectra of the complexes display pi ->pi* transitions in the UV region. Cyclic voltarnmetry of the complexes show an irreversible reduction followed by a reversible reduction both associated with the tta ligand. Eu(III) reduction in the homodinuclear [Eu(tta)(3)](2)bpm complex occurs as an irreversible reduction at less negative potentials than the tta-based reductions. Emission spectra of the Eu(III) and Tb(III) 'bimetallics are typical of this type of bonding motif with ligand centered (tta) absorptions resulting in 4f-4f transitions in the visible and near infrared region.

The structural, luminescent and temperature dependent luminescent properties of two homodinuclear europium complexes bridged by 2,2'-bipyrimidine (bpm) are reported. beta-Diketonate ligands 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-furyl)-1,3-butanedione (tfa) and 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedione (tta) are used as capping ligands resulting in complexes of the form [Eu(tfa)(3)](2)bpm (1) and [Eu(tta)(3)](2)bpm (2). All Eu-III ions are eight coordinate with six O atoms from the beta-diketones and two N atoms from the polyazine bridging ligand. Excitation of the beta-diketonate ligands tfa or tta at ca. 340 nm in toluene solutions results in the characteristic Eu-III emission in the visible region of the spectrum. The emission intensity and lifetime associated with the Eu-III centers decrease as the temperature of the solution is increased. Lifetime measurements are fit to a monoexponential while the temperature dependent lifetime data is fit to an Arrhenius-type equation. Evaluation of the data in comparison to data obtained from the monometallic Eu-III analogs reveal very similar photoluminescent properties. This suggests little electronic communication between Eu-III ions via the polyazine bpm bridging ligand. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
