Synthesis and spectroscopic properties of rare earth picrate complexes with a new dinaphthalenelamide

The new ligand N-benzyl-2-{2'-[(benzyl-ethyl-carbamoyl)-methoxy]-dinaphthalene-2-yloxy}-N-ethyl-acetamide (L) and its complexes of rare earth picrates were synthesized. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis spectra and conductivity measurements. The fluorescence properties of the europium complex in solid state and CHCl₃, ethyl acetone, acetonitrile and DMF were investigated. Under the excitation, the europium complex exhibited characteristic emissions of europium. The lowest triplet state energy level of the ligand indicated that the triplet state energy level of the ligand matched better to the resonance level of Eu(III) than Tb(III) ion.     

Synthesis, characterization, fluorescence and DNA-binding studies of europium（Ⅲ） pirates complexes with amide-based 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene derivatives

Two ligands 2,2′-[2,3-naphthylenebis(oxy)]-bis(N-benzyl(acetamide))(L1) and 2,2′-[2,3-naphthylenebis (oxy)]-bis(N,N-diphenyl (acetamide))(L2) and their europium(Ⅲ) picrate complexes were synthesized. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infra-red (IR), thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and molar conductivity. Fluorescent experiments showed that the resonance level of the Eu) matched better to the triplet state energy level of the ligand L2 than that of the ligand L1 and the fluorescence in-tensities of the complexes were reduced with the raising coordination ability of solvent. In addition, the interactions between the complexes and DNA were studied by means of spectrometry and cyclic voltammetry. The results suggested that the complexes could bind to DNA through intercalation and the complex 1 binded to DNA more strongly than the complex 2.     

Synthesis and Photoluminescence of Three Europium (Ⅲ) Ternary Complexes with New Secondary Ligands of Different Structure

Three new 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives, dipyrido (3,2-f: 2,3-h) quinoxaline (DPQN), imidazo (5,6-f)-(1,10)-phenanthroline (IP) and 3-phenyl-imidazo (5,6-f)-(1,10)-phenanthroline (PIP) were designed and synthesized as a secondary ligand to coordinate with europium (Ⅲ) ion while dibenzoylmethane (DBM) was used as the first ligand. The compositions of the ligands and the europium (Ⅲ) ternary complexes were confirmed by elementary analysis, IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The UV-visible absorption spectra, thermal stability, photoluminescence spectra, quantum yield and fluorescence life time of the Eu(Ⅲ) complexes were investigated. The effect of the structure of the secondary ligand on the photoluminescence of the complexes was discussed. The results show that the synthesized Eu(Ⅲ) complexes are good red-emitiing materials for potential application in fabrication of organic electroluminescence devices.     

Synthesis,characteristic and intramolecular energy transfer mechanism of reactive terbium complex in white light emitting diode

A reactive Tb(III) complex with 2-aminobenzoic acid(2-ABAH) and acrylonitrile(AN) as ligands was synthesized.The structure of the complex was characterized by elemental analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry(FT-IR).The results indicated that the ligands were coordinated with Tb(III) ion.Thermal gravity-derivative thermogravimetric(TG-DTG) analysis indicated that the complex kept stable up to 198 oC.Luminescence properties were investigated by UV-vis absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra.The results suggested that being excited at 361 nm,the complex exhibited characteristic emission of Tb(III) ion,revealing that the complex could be excited by 365 nm ultraviolet chip.The HOMO and LUMO,ΔE(HOMO-LUMO),molecular frontier orbital,and the singlet state and triplet energy state levels of the ligands were calculated at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level.The results indicated that intramolecular energy transfer mechanism followed Dexter exchange energy transfer theory.Both the calculation for excited state of ligand and energy transfer mechanism could provide the theoretical basis for the design of high luminescent materials of rare earth complexes with organic ligands.

There is no highly conserved embryonic stage in the vertebrates: implications for current theories of evolution and development

The design of Ru(II) and Os(II) complexes which are photoreactive with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) represents one of the main targets for the development of novel molecular tools for the study of DNA and, in the future, for the production of new, metal-based, anti-tumor drugs. In this review, we explain how it is possible to make a complex photoreactive with nucleobases and nucleic acids. According to the photophysical behaviour of the Ru(II) compounds, two types of photochemistry are expected: (1) photosubstitution of a ligand by a nucleobase and another monodentate ligand, which takes place from the triplet, metal-centred (3MC) state; this state is populated thermally from the lowest lying triplet metal to ligand charge transfer (3MLCT) state; (2) photoreaction from the 3MLCT state, corresponding to photoredox processes with DNA bases. The two photoreactivities are in competition. By modulating appropriately the redox properties of the 3MLCT state, an electron transfer process from the base to the excited complex takes place, and is directly correlated with DNA cleavage or the formation of an adduct of the complex to DNA. In this adduct, guanine is linked by N2 to the alpha-position of a non-chelating nitrogen of the polyazaaromatic ligand without destruction of the complex. Different strategies are explained which increase the affinity of the complexes for DNA and direct the complex photoreactivity to sites of special DNA topology or targeted sequences of bases. Moreover, the replacement of the Ru(II) ion by the Os(II) ion in the photoreactive complexes leads to an increased specificity of photoreaction. Indeed, only one type of photoreactivity (from the 3MLCT state) is present for the Os(II) complexes because the 3MC state is too high in energy to be populated at room temperature.     

Synthesis, fluorescence properties of Eu(Ⅲ) complexes with novel carbazolefunctionalized β-diketone ligand

A novel carbazole functionalized β-diketone, methyl 6-(9-ethylcarbazole-3-yl)-oxoacetyl-2-pyridinecarboxylate (MEP), and its Corresponding Corresponding binary Eu(Ⅲ) complexes Eu(MEP)32H2O and ternary complex Eu(MEP)3Phen with 1,10-Phenanthroline (Phen) were pre-pared. The ligand was characterized based on elemental analysis, FT-IR, and 1H NMR, and the complexes were characterized with elemental analysis, FT-IR and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). The investigation of fluorescence properties of the com-plexes Eu(MEP)32H2O and Eu(MEP)3Phen showed that the Eu(Ⅲ) ion could be sensitized efficiently by the ligand to some extent, in par-titular, in the ternary system, the secondary ligand Phen acting as a light-harvesting center was involved in the highly efficient energy transfer process, and the emission was stronger than the binary complex. In addition, the introduction of the carbazole moiety enlarged the π-conjugated system of the ligand and enhanced the luminescent intensity of the complexes.

采用Claisen缩合反应合成了一种新型的β-二酮化合物1-(4-溴苯)-3-苯基丙烷-1,3-二酮(L),并以其为第一配体,邻菲罗啉(phen)为第二配体,合成出新型稀土铕,铽二元及三元配合物。通过元素分析、红外光谱、紫外光谱、荧光光谱对合成的配体及配合物进行了表征。元素分析确定了配合物的组成。红外光谱的分析表明第一配体L中的氧原子以及第二配体phen中的氮原子与稀土离子进行了配位。紫外光谱表明第一配体L为能量的给体,第二配体phen起协同作用。通过荧光光谱研究了配合物的发光性质,结果显示三元配合物的发光强度大于二元配合物,三元配合物Eu(L)3phen表现出Eu3+的特征发射,在593,615,653,701 nm处的发射峰分别归属于Eu3+的5D0→7Fj(j=1,2,3,4)能级间的跃迁,并且以位于615 nm处的5D0→7F2电子跃迁所发出的荧光强度最大;而铽配合物中并没有出现Tb3+的特征发射。进一步的研究表明,这是由于配体L的最低三重态能级较适合Eu3+的发射能级,配体L吸收的能量可以有效的通过Antenna效应传递给稀土中心离子,使得三元配合物Eu(L)3phen的发光强度较大。     

Synthesis, characterization and fluorescence of N,N'-BIS (6-metyl-2-pyridine-carboxylamide-N-oxide)-1,2-ethane and corresponding rare earth (Ⅲ) complexes

A new ligand, N,N-BIS (6-metyl-2-pyridinecarboxylamide-N-oxide)-1,2-ethane (L) and six lanthanide(III) complexes (RE=La, Sm, Eu, Tb, Gd, Yb) were synthesized and characterized in detail. The results indicated that the composition of the binary complexes was determined as [REL(H₂O)(NO₃)₂]NO₃·nH₂O (n=0–2), and the Eu³⁺ complex had bright red fluorescence in solid state. Three complexes of Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺, and Gd³⁺ with 6-methylpicolinic acid N-oxide (L') were also synthesized. The relative intensity of sensitized luminescence for Eu³⁺ increased in the following order: L>L'. The phosphorescence spectra of the Gd³⁺ complexes at 77 K were measured. The energies of excited triplet state for the ligands were 20704 cm⁻¹ (L) and 20408 cm⁻¹ (L'). The facts that the ligands sensitized Eu³⁺ strongly and the order of the emission intensity for Eu³⁺ complexes were explained by ΔE(T-⁵D). This meant that the triplet energy level of the ligand was the main factor to influence RE³⁺ luminescence.     

Influence of bidentate structure of an aryl phosphine oxide ligand on photophysical properties of its EuIII complex

The bidentate phosphine oxide ligand 1,8-bis(diphenylphosphino) naphthalene oxide (NAPO) and its Eu^III complex 1 Eu(TTA)₃(NAPO) (TTA=2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonate) were chosen to study the effect of bidentate phosphine oxide ligand on the photophysical properties of the corresponding complex. The intramolecular energy transfer processes of 1 were studied. The investigation showed that with bidentate structure NAPO could suppress solvent-induced quenching by enforcing the ligand-ligand interaction and the rigidity of the complex. Contrasted with the monodentate triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), NAPO had a higher first triplet excited energy level (T₁) and a lower first singlet excited energy level (S₁), which fitted to the corresponding excited energy levels of anion ligand TTA much more and supported more efficient singlet and triplet energy transfer in its Eu^III complex.     

Triboluminescence of A New Europate Complex

A new europium (Ⅲ)complex Eu(HFNH)3Phen (HFNH: 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6-heptafluoro-l-(2-naphthyl)hexane-1,3-dione ; phen : 1, 10-phenanthroline) was synthesized and its tribolumineseent phenomenon was observed. Photoluminescence and tfiboluminescence spectra were successfidly determined. The most intense tfiboluminescent emission originates from the transition of the central Eu^3 ion from ^5D0 level to ^7F2 level. The tribolunlinescent spectrum is basically similar to that of photoluminescence, which correlates with the disorders of F atoms.     

Progresses in electroluminescence based on europium(Ⅲ) complexes

The research on electroluminescence based on europium(Ⅲ) complexes has come to an important phase. This article reviewed the progresses in photoluminescence and electroluminescence of Eu(Ⅲ) complexes in recent years from the views of the design of Eu(Ⅲ) com-plexes and optimization of device structures, and discussed some important factors influencing electroluminescence performance. The prob-lems existing in the practical application such as the volatility and thermal stability of Eu(Ⅲ) complexes in this area were discussed, and the possibe corresponding solutions sere briefly prospected.

Benzene ring impact on energy transfer system of Eu（TTA）3DPBT

Eu(TTA)3DPBT was found most likely to lead a special singlet photosensitization pathway by means of time-resolved luminescence spectroscopic studies.For further understanding of its intra-molecular energy transfer mechanism,another lanthanide complex Eu(TTA)3BDDT was synthesized,using a related ligand BDDT,changing the D-π-A structure of DPBT to the D-A structure of BDDT.The luminescence characteristics of both complexes were investigated and compared.Results show that π bridge plays an important role in the energy transfer process.π bridge can change the charge separation strength by affecting the electron-density distribution over the diethylaniline and the dipyrazoletriazine moieties.Without the π bridge connection,the benzene ring,BDDT gets a smaller conjugated system,and the absorption peak in the UV-Vis spectrum of BDDT has a blue shift of 114 nm relative to that of DPBT.So the energy level of ligand BDDT and the central ion Eu(Ⅲ) does not match well,and the energy transfer efficiency drop 33%.     

Cytotoxicity of new Ho(Ⅲ) and Pr(Ⅲ) complexes

New complexes of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid(HCCA) with Ho(Ⅲ) and Pr(Ⅲ) were synthesized and their structures and spectral properties were investigated by elemental analysis,IR,Raman and NMR measurements.According to the experimental data the complexes’ formula and geometries were suggested.Vibrational frequencies,IR intensities and Raman activities as well as 1H NMR chemical shifts of HCCA and its Ho(Ⅲ) and Pr(Ⅲ) complexes were presented.The comparative experimental vibrational and NMR analyses of both the ligand and the Ln(Ⅲ) complexes predicted the bidentate binding to Ho(Ⅲ) and Pr(Ⅲ) through the deprotonated carboxylic oxygen and the carbonylic oxygen of the ligand.The cytotoxic/cytostatic properties of the ligand and the newly synthesized complexes of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid with Ho(Ⅲ) and Pr(Ⅲ) were tested by MTT reduction assay against two mouse tumor cell lines:melanoma B16 and fibrosarcoma L929.They were also tested for cytotoxicity against normal mouse peritoneal macrophages.The proliferation inhibitory effect of the complexes compared to that of the ligand proved their cytotoxic/cytostatic properties against both the tumor cell lines.In addition,the complexes were less cytotoxic against normal mouse macrophages and were able to modulate NO release by activated macrophages.The obtained results were in accordance with our previously published data concerning the activity of lanthanide(Ⅲ) complexes with other coumarin derivatives.     

Synthesis, Characterization and Fluorescence Properties of Europium, Terbium Complexes with Biphenyl-4-Carboxylic Acid and o-Phenanthroline

Two series of solid complexes of europium and terbium with biphenyl 4-carboxylic acid and phen were synthesized and characterized in this report. Their elemental analysis, molar conductivities and TG-DTA studies indicate that the complexes have the composition of Eu(phen)L3·1/2H2O, Eu0.5RE0.5(phen)L3·1/2H2O; Tb(phen)L3·H2O and Tb0.5RE0.5(Phen)L3·1/2H2O. (RE=Y3 , La3 and Gd3 ; L=biphenyl 4-carboxylic acid; phen=o-Phenanthroline). The studies of their IR, UV 1H NMR and molar conductivities demonstrate that biphenyl 4-carboylic acid is bounded with RE(Ⅲ) ion. Rare earth ions coordinate with two nitrogen atoms of phen molecules directly in these rare earth complexes. The fluorescence spectra and fluorescence lifetimes of the rare earth complexes show that the fluorescent intensity and lifetime of a series of europium complexes are longer than those of the series of terbium complexes as having the some ligands. There are better fluorescent intensity and lifetime of hetero-nuclear rare earth complexes than homo-nuclear rare earth complexes for europium complexes. The fluorescence emission intensity of Eu3 is raised by inert fluorescent rare earth ions (Y3 , Gd3 and La3 ), but in Tb3 hetero-nuclear rare earth complexes the intensity of Tb3 ions are quenched by the inert fluorescent rare earth ions.

The photoexcited triplet state as a probe of chromophore-protein interaction in myoglobin

The photoexcited metastable triplet state of Mg(2+)-mesoporphyrin IX (MgMPIX) or Mg(2+)-protoporphyrin IX (MgPPIX) located in the heme pocket of horse myoglobin (Mb) was investigated by optical and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and its properties were compared with the model complexes, MgMPIX, MgPPIX, and Mg2+ etioporphyrin I (MgETIOI), in noncoordinating and coordinating organic glasses. Zero-field splitting parameters, line shape, and Jahn-Teller distortion in the temperature range of 3.8-110 K are discussed in terms of porphyrin-protein interactions. The triplet line shapes for MgMPIXMb and MGPPIXMb show no temperature-dependent spectral line shape changes suggestive of Jahn-Teller dynamics, and it is concluded that the energy splitting is > 150 cm-1, suggesting symmetry breaking from the anisotropy of intermal electric fields of the protein, and consistent with previous predictions (Geissinger et al. 1995. J. Phys. Chem. 99:16527-16529). Both MgMPIXMb and MgPPIXMb demonstrate electron spin polarization at low temperature, and from the polarization pattern it can be concluded that intersystem crossing occurs predominantly into in-plane spin sublevels of the triplet state. The splitting in the Q0.0 absorption band and the temperature dependence and splitting of the photoexcited triplet state of myoglobin in which the iron was replaced by Mg2+ are interpreted in terms of effects produced by electric field asymmetry in the heme pocket.
