Syntheses, structures, luminescence, and magnetism of four 3D lanthanide 5-sulfosalicylates

Four 3D lanthanide(III) complexes with 5-sulfosalicylic acid (H3SSA) as bridging ligands, Ln(SSA)(H2O)2 [Ln=Ce(III) (1), Pr(III) (2), Nd(III) (3) and Dy(III) (4)], have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, XRD and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray structural analysis reveals that isostructral complexes 1–4 possess 3D structures with 4664 topology. Complexes 1 and 2 exhibit broad intraligand fluorescent emission bands. Complexes 3 and 4 not only display intraligand fluorescent emission bands, but also present Nd(III) characteristic emission in the near-IR region and sensitized luminescence of Dy(III) ions in the visible region, respectively. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements of 2–4 have been studied over the temperature range of 4–300 K.

Syntheses and crystal structures of four 3D lanthanide-5-sulfosalicylates, Ln(SSA)(H2O)2 [Ln=Ce(III) (1), Pr(III) (2), Nd(III) (3), and Dy(III) (4)], have been reported. In complexes 1–4, Ln(III) acting as 5-connected inorganic node and SSA3− ligand acing as 5-connected organic node interlink into rarely reported 4664 topology network. Luminescence and magnetism properties have also been studied.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
