We designed and characterized four ternary lanthanide tris-(beta-diketonate) complexes. The photophysical behaviors of the complexes were investigated using absorption and emission spectroscopy, and the crystal structures were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the introduction of the terpyridyl-based ancillary ligand resulted in distinctive luminescence responses from the four lanthanide metal ions.
We designed four ternary lanthanide tris-(beta-diketonate) complexes of the form [Ln(tta)(3)(tpy-HImzphen)], where Ln = La-III, Eu-III, Sm-III and Tb-III; tta = (2-theonyltrifluoroacetonate) and tpy-HImzphen = 2-(4-[2,2':6',2 '']terpyridin-4'-yl-phenyl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole. All the complexes have been thoroughly characterized by standard analytical tools and spectroscopic techniques including single crystal X-ray diffraction. In situ generation of the complexes was also monitored via absorption and emission spectroscopy upon incremental addition of the respective lanthanide precursor {Ln(tta)(3)(H2O)(2)} to the dichloromethane solution of the terpyridyl-imidazole ligand. The photophysical behaviors of all the complexes were thoroughly investigated via absorption and both steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopic techniques. The emission spectral measurements were carried out at both room temperature and 77 K to understand the deactivation dynamics of the excited states and elucidate the distinctive luminescence responses from the four lanthanide metal ions owing to the introduction of the terpyridyl-based ancillary ligand.
