Description
Summary:The thermodynamics of Nd­(III) and Eu­(III) complexes with N,N,­N′,N′-tetramethyl-2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-dicarboxamide (TMBiPDA) and N,N,­N′,N′-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxamide (TMPhenDA) in CH3OH/​10%(v)­H2O solutions were studied. Stability constants and enthalpies of complexation were determined by absorption spectrophotometry, luminescence, and calorimetry. The stability constants of corresponding lanthanide complexes decrease in the order of TMPhenDA > TMBiPDA, while those of the corresponding ligand complexes with lanthanides decrease in the order of Nd­(III) > Eu­(III). The stepwise reactions for all 1:1 complexes as well as for the 1:2 Nd­(III) complexes are driven by both enthalpy and entropy, while those for the 1:2 Eu­(III) complexes are driven by entropy. The stronger affinity of TMPhenDA to Nd­(III) and Eu­(III) than that of TMBiPDA is predominantly arisen from its high preorganization. The spectra of the complexes in solutions are similar, implying that Nd­(III) and Eu­(III) coordinate with the two ligands in the same mode, which have been validated by 1H and 13C NMR titrations using La­(III) as lanthanide tracer. The luminescence lifetimes of the Eu­(III) complexes with TMBiPDA and TMPhenDA were evaluated by TRLFS. Structures of Nd­(III)/​TMPhenDA and Eu­(III)/​TMPhenDA complexes, identified by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry, show that ligand coordinates to metal in a tetradentate mode via two aromatic N-donors and two amide O-donors, and the central cation (Nd­(III) or Eu­(III)) is 10-coordinated by two whole TMPhenDA and two solvent (water or methanol) molecules. The M–O bond distances are almost identical, while the Nd–N bond distance is shorter than the Eu–O bond.
