摘要:
The isolation and characterization of Ln(NO3)(3) complexes (Ln=La, Pr, Nd, Eu, Tb, Lu) with 2,3-benzo-1,4,7,13-tetraoxa-10-azacyclopenta-decane (L-1) and two of its N-substituted derivatives (L-2, L-3) are reported. Structural information in the solid state is derived from spectroscopic data (vibrational, absorption, reflectance and luminescence spectra). Both ligand- and metal-centered luminescence of solutions of the complexes in oxygen-free and anhydrous acetonitrile are investigated. Substitution of the N-proton of the crown ether enhances metal emission. Ligand L-2 displays a good antenna effect for Eu-III luminescence, while L-3 is especially effective in transferring energy from its triplet state onto the excited states of Tb-III. The Eu-III site in Eu(NO3)(3)L-2. 0.5C(2)H(5)OH . 1.5H(2)O possesses a low local symmetry and a relatively long D-5(0) lifetime (1.01 ms). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
