Lanthanide trifluoroacetate complexes (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Tb, Gd, Tb, Er)
with 2-azacyclononanone (AZA) were synthesized and characterized. Complexo
metric analysis with EDTA and microanalytical procedures agree with the gen
eral formula Ln(TFA)(3). 3AZA; thermogravimetric curves in N-2 dynamic atmo
sphere show their thermal stability until about 100 degreesC. The europiurn
emission spectrum indicates more than one Eu3+ symmetry centre. The X-ray
structure of the samarium complex consists of dimeric species where the met
al atoms are connected through four TFA bridges, a monodentate TFA, two O-b
onded AZA ligands and a water molecule complete the coordination sphere abo
ut each samarium. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
