EXAFS studies and gaussian view energy calculations of the complexation of europium with 1,3,5-trideoxy-1,3,5-tris((2-hydroxybenzyl)amino)-cis-inositol

Complexation of 1,3,5-trideoxy-1,3,5-tris((2-hydroxybenzyl)amino)-cis-inositol (thci) in I = 1.00 M (NaClO4) with Eu(III) and La(III) was studied by EXAFS measurements and gaussian view energy calculations.EXAFS studies indicated that two complexes Eu(thci)2+ and Eu(thci)22+ are formed with thci and Eu(III). At lower pH, Eu(III) is bonded to thci via two hydroxyl groups (cyclohexanetriol or 2-hydroxybenzylamino moieties) and 7 H2O molecules, for a total of 9 Eu–O bonds. However, at higher pH there are two hydroxyl groups (cyclohexanetriol or 2-hydroxybenzylamino moieties), two amino groups, and five water molecules for a total Eu(III) coordination number of 9. gaussian view energy calculations indicate that in the Eu(thci)2+, thci bonds to Eu(III) in a similar manner and is in good correlation with the EXAFS data.
