Abstract:
Two coordination complexes EuII 2EuIII 4(OH)4(bza)4L2(1) and EuIII 5(H2O)(OH)4(NO3)3(bza)4L (2) have been assembled with the tetrasubstituted cyclen ligand N,N′,N′′,N′′′-tetrakis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-methylbenzyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (H4L) and the auxiliary ligand benzoic acid (Hbza). Complex 2 is a pentanuclear EuIIIcluster whereas complex 1 is a huge heterovalent 2EuII/4EuIIIcluster in which two divalent europium ions are trapped within the macrocyclic cavities of the designed ligands L and are further isolated from the environment by peripheral phenyl rings and the tetrahedral 4EuIIIcluster, which results in the enhanced oxidative stability of Eu2+. The luminescence of complex 1 was investigated and is discussed in comparison with the luminescence of ligand H4L and complex 2. Owing to the protection of Eu2+by the macrocyclic ligands L, the heterovalent complex exhibits a strong broad emission band with a maximum at 533 nm as well as the characteristic sharp emissions of Eu3+. The broad emission is redshifted compared with that of ligand H4L and has been attributed to the Laporte-allowed 4f65d1→ 4f7transition of Eu2+. © 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
