Facile formation of luminescent terbium(III) aryloxide complexes directly from terbium metal including the X-ray crystal structures of Tb(OC6H3Me2-2,6)3(THF)3 and Tb(OC6H3iPr2-2,6)3(THF)2
摘要:
Direct reaction of terbium metal in refluxing isopropanol and phenols provides the luminescent terbium aryloxide species Tb(OC6H3Me2-2,6)(3)(THF)(3) (1) and Tb((OC6H3Pr2)-Pr-i-2,6)(3)(THF)(2) (2) in good yield. Crystallographic studies showed 1 to be fac-octahedral and 2 to be trigonal bipyramidal with the THF molecules in the axial positions. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
