Abstract

Heteronuclear lanthanide terephthalate coordination polymers with the general chemical formula [Ln2-2xLn2x(bdc)3(H2O)4], for which bdc2- symbolizes benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate (or terephthalate) and Ln and Ln represent trivalent rare earth ions, were synthesized and structurally characterized. Analysis of the Y/Lu compounds by 89Y and 13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy was carried out, and the results support the hypothesis of randomly distributed lanthanide ions. The spectroscopic and colorimetric properties of this family of compounds were investigated in detail. The resulting data demonstrate that this series of compounds presents highly tunable luminescence properties and clearly indicate that intermetallic deactivation processes play an important role in the emission mechanism. Playing with intermetallic distances allows one to tune the color and the brightness of the lanthanide emission in these coordination polymers.

Organolanthanide chemistry

Organolanthanide chemistry is the field of chemistry that studies organolanthanides, compounds with a lanthanide-to-carbon bond. Organolanthanide compounds are different from their organotransition metal analogues in the following ways: They are far more air- and water-sensitive and are often pyrophoric. Chemistry in the 0 oxidation state is far more limited. In fact, their electropositive nature makes their organometallic compounds more likely to be ionic.

Lanthanide

The lanthanide (ˈlænθənaɪd) or lanthanoid (ˈlænθənɔɪd) series of chemical elements comprises the 15 metallic chemical elements with atomic numbers 57–71, from lanthanum through lutetium. These elements, along with the chemically similar elements scandium and yttrium, are often collectively known as the rare-earth elements or rare-earth metals. The informal chemical symbol Ln is used in general discussions of lanthanide chemistry to refer to any lanthanide.

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, most commonly known as NMR spectroscopy or magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), is a spectroscopic technique to observe local magnetic fields around atomic nuclei. This spectroscopy is based on the measurement of absorption of electromagnetic radiations in the radio frequency region from roughly 4 to 900 MHz. Absorption of radio waves in the presence of magnetic field is accompanied by a special type of nuclear transition, and for this reason, such type of spectroscopy is known as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy.
