X. Li et al., Crystal structure of N,N-bis(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)leucine and photochromism of the Eu3+-PML-phen complex, J MOL STRUC, 525, 2000, pp. 261-269
The title compound N,N-bis(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)leucine (PML) has bee
n prepared, and its crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ra
y diffraction. The molecule has four conformations differing from each othe
r in the corresponding bond lengths and angles, which may arise from steric
effect of the bulky groups. The europium(III) complex with PML and 1,10-ph
enanthroline(phen) has photochromic reactivity in aqueous medium, which was
studied spectroscopically. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reser
