Abstract:
Three salts of the common composition [EuCl 2 ( X -tpy) 2 ][EuCl 4 ( X -tpy)]·nMeCN were obtained from EuCl 3 ·6H 2 O and the respective organic ligands ( X -tpy = 4′-phenyl-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine ptpy, 4′-(pyridin-4-yl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine 4-pytpy, and 4′-(pyridin-3-yl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine 3-pytpy). These ionic complexes are examples of salts, in which both cation and anion contain Eu 3+ with the same organic ligands and chlorine atoms coordinated. As side reaction, acetonitrile transforms into acetamide resulting in the crystallization of the complex [EuCl 3 (ptpy)(acetamide)] ( 4 ). Salts [EuCl 2 (ptpy) 2 ][EuCl 4 (ptpy)]·2.34MeCN ( 1 ), [EuCl 2 (4-pytpy) 2 ][EuCl 4 (4-pytpy)]·0.11MeCN ( 2 ), and [EuCl 2 (3-pytpy) 2 ][EuCl 4 (3-pytpy)]·MeCN ( 3 ) crystallize in different structures (varying in space group and crystal packing) due to variation of the rear atom of the ligand to a coordinative site. Additionally, we show and compare structural variability through the dimeric complexes [Eu 2 Cl 6 (ptpy) 2 ( N , N ′-spacer)]· N , N ′-spacer ( 5 , 6 , 7 ) obtained from [EuCl 3 (ptpy)(py)] by exchanging the end-on ligand pyridine with several bipyridines (4,4′-bipyridine bipy, 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane bpa, and 1,2-bis(2-pyridyl)ethylene bpe). In addition, photophysical (photoluminescence) and thermal properties are presented.
