Intracomplex π-stacking interactions between three adjacent molecules of phosphoryl-containing 1,8-naphthyridine (L) in lanthanide(III) complexes [LnL3]3+: Crystal structures, DFT calculations, and solution study by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS)
摘要:
The crystal structure of novel complex [LuL3](3+)center dot 0.5{[Lu[(NO3)(5)(H2O)](2-) center dot 2[Lu(NO3)(3)(H2O)(3)]center dot 4(NO3)(-)}(6-)center dot 2(CH3NO2)center dot 0.75(H2O) (1) (where L is napy-CMe2-P(O)Ph-2, and napy is 1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl) was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and discussed with respect to structures of other previously studied crystal Ln complexes of this ligand (2-4). Complex cation [LnL(3)](3+) (Ln = Nd, Eu, Lu) is the main structural component of compounds 1-4. Intramolecular interligand pi-stacking interaction is observed in all [LnL(3)](3+) cations between three adjacent molecules of ONN coordinated ligands. pi-Stacking interaction energy was estimated from Bader's AIM theory calculations performed on DFT level. The data of ESI-MS agree well with assumption on pi-stacking interaction. The lanthanide complexes [LnL(3)](3+) (Ln = Nd, Eu, Lu) are the first example of mononuclear complexes with triple intramolecular pi-stacking in ligand system of complex. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
