文摘

Nonadentate ligands based on triazacyclononane incorporating pyridyl-2-phosphinate groups form an isostructural series of complexes with Ln ions in the solid state and in solution. The Ln ion is effectively shielded from the solvent environment. Crystal structures reveal a rigid C₃-symmetric tricapped trigonal-prismatic coordination geometry that is maintained in solution for the methyl and phenylphosphinate series, as shown by multinuclear NMR analysis. Variable-temperature measurements of the field dependence of the water proton relaxivity in gadolinium complexes indicate that these systems exclude solvent from the primary coordination environment and minimize the second sphere of solvation. The electronic relaxation time for the gadolinium methylphosphinate complex has been estimated to be 550 (卤150) ps by EPR and NMR methods, compared to values of around 0.30鈥?.05 ps for the terbium鈥搚tterbium series, deduced by analyzing the field dependence (4.7鈥?6.5 T) of the ³¹P NMR longitudinal relaxation times. Values are compared with analogous azacarboxylate ligand complexes, supporting a key role for donor atom polarizability in determining the electronic relaxation. Spectral emission behavior in solution of samarium, europium, terbium, and dysprosium complexes is compared, and the resolved RRR-螞 and SSS-螖 complexes show strong circularly polarized luminescence. The molecular quadratic hyperpolarizability 尾_HLS has been measured in solution using hyper-Raleigh light-scattering methods, for the whole series of lanthanide complexes of one ligand. The values of 尾_HLS reach a maximum around the center of the series and are not simply dependent on the number of f electrons, suggesting a dominant contribution from the octupolar rather than the dipolar term.
