Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Two lanthanide tetrafluoro-p-phthalate (L2-) complexes, Ln(L)(1.5)center dot DMF center dot H2O (Ln = Pr3+ (1), Nd3+ (2)), were synthesized using pyridine as a base. The compounds were found to be isostructural, and the structure of 1 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (monoclinic, space group C2, a = 22.194(2) angstrom, b = 11.4347(12) angstrom, c = 11.7160(12) angstrom, beta = 94.703(2)degrees, V = 2963.3(5) angstrom(3), Z = 4). The crystal structure of 1 consists of dinuclear Pr3+ units, which are connected by tetrafluoro-p-phthalate, forming separate 2D polymeric layers. The Ln(3+) ions in the dinuclear Ln(2) units are linked by two mu-O atoms and by two bridging O-C-O groups. The structure is porous with DMF and water molecules located between layers. Non-coordinated DMF molecules occupy about 27% of the unit cell volume. A systematic analysis of reported structures of Ln(III) polymers with p-phthalate and its derivatives shows that the ca. known 60 structures can be divided into six possible structural types depending on the presence of certain structural motifs. The magnetic properties of compounds 1 and 2 were studied. The dependence of chi T-M on T (where chi(M) is magnetic susceptibility per dinuclear lanthanide unit) for 1 and 2 was simulated using two different models, based on: (i) the Hamiltonian (H) over cap = Delta(J) over cap (2)(z) + mu(B)g(J) H (J) over cap, which utilises an axial splitting parameter Lambda and temperature-independent paramagnetism (tip) and (ii) crystal field splitting. It was found that both models gave satisfactory fits, indicating that the Ln-Ln exchange interactions are small and the symmetry of the coordination environment is the main factor influencing the magnetic properties of these compounds.
