A series of pyrazolone lanthanide (III) complexes: Synthesis, crystal structures and fluorescence

摘要

A series of pyrazolone lanthanide complexes: Ln(PMPP)(3) center dot 2H(2)O center dot C2H5OH (Ln = Nd (1), Sm (2), Gd (3), Dy (4); PMPP = 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-propionyl-5-pyrazolone) have been synthesized by the hydrothermal method with the starting ligand PMPP-SAH (1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(salicylidene hydrazone)-propionyl-5-pyrazolone) changed into PMPP during the formation process of complexes. All the complexes were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The fluorescence of these four complexes 1-4 in solid state and DMF solution was investigated via F-4500 spectrophotometer and all of them indicate a fluorescent behavior at room temperature.
