Síntese, caracterização e estudo das propriedades fotoluminescentes de polímeros de coordenação contendo ligantes fosfônicos e metais da série dos lantanídeos

Abstract

The present work describes the synthesis and characterization of five compounds involving the ligands phosphonates methylenediphosphonic acid (mdp) and iminodi(methylphosphonic acid) (idmp) and Eu3+, Tb3+ and Gd3+ ions. For all compounds, the same proportion, 3:1 ligand/metal was used. Four of them are in powder form and were characterized by vibrational spectroscopy in the infrared and Raman spectra, elemental analysis CHN and thermical analysis. One of the compounds, (4) using iminodimetilfosfônico acid has crystallized and its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure belongs to the trigonal crystal system, space group R-3c, with molecular formula [C2H9Eu0.33NO7P2]. The Eu3+ site presents octahedral geometry and the coordination sphere involves six idmp ligands containing a protonated oxygen atom from the phosphonate group and a doubly protonated nitrogen atom, resulting in a negative charge and a proportion (1Eu3+: 3idmp-). The (5) was obtained using the mdp ligand and the analyses suggest the molecular formula [Eu2(mdp)3(H2O)3].5H2O. Compounds (1), (2a) and (3) showed minimal formulas [Eu(idmp)], [Eu3(idmp)6(H2O)2] and [Eu2(idmp)3].3H2O, respectively, suggested by analysis. All compounds were synthesized using the same metal ion. However, all analyses indicate different minimal formulas and possibly different coordination modes as well. (2a) analogs, varying the metal ion were synthesized using Tb3+ (2b) and Gd3+ (2c). The luminescence study of these samples was performed. Excitation and emission spectra have showed that for the Eu3+ compound, excitation at the ligand wavelength is more effective than direct excitation at the metal ion, indicating the lanthanide sensitization. For the Tb3+ compound direct excitation at the ligand wavelength was not efficient. Excitation and emission spectra were obtained for compounds (3) and (5). However, there was no time for the characterization of these compounds with the Gd3+ ion, so the study of luminescence for these compounds cannot be completed.
