摘要

Four lanthanide complexes of 1-hydroxy-2-pyridinone ( HOPO) have been synthesised from aqueous solution at pH approximate to 7 and their structures and luminescent properties have been established. This ligand coordinates to lanthanide(III) ions as an anionic bidentate chelate (1-oxy-2-pyridinonate, OPO-) and crystallographic analyses show the formation of two structural types with different stoichiometries. In the first part of this series (Eu, Gd) the structural type consists of dimer units Na-2[Ln(2)(OPO)(8)].9H(2)O, crystallising in the orthorhombic system, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). The immediate coordination sphere around Ln is occupied by the eight oxygen atoms of four bidentate OPO- ligands. These complexes display the Na+ ions associated with the complex anion via interactions with bridging CO and NO groups of the ligands, inducing a polymeric structure. In the second part of the series (Tb, Dy) the structures obtained are [Ln(OPO)(3)(H2O)(2)].H2O, crystallising in triclinic system, space group P(1) over bar. The Tb(III) and Dy(III) ions are also eight-coordinated but two water molecules occupy the coordination sphere instead of one ligand OPO-. The Dy(III), Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes display in the solid state and at room temperature a photoluminescence that is achieved by an indirect excitation process (antenna effect). The terbium(III) complex exhibits intense sensitized green emission, which is temperature independent.
