Abstract:
A family of 3D lanthanide metal-organic frameworks, [La(HTADIP)(H(2)O)(4)]·xH(2)O (2 < x < 2.5) (1), [Eu(HTADIP)(H(2)O)(4)]·H(2)O (2), [Tb(HTADIP)(H(2)O)(3)]·2H(2)O (3), and [Er(HTADIP)(H(2)O)(3)]·2H(2)O (4) (H(4)TADIP = 5,5'-(1H-1,2,3-triazole-1,4-diyl)diisophthalic acid), have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized. The unsymmetrical 1,2,3-triazole-containing tetracarboxylate ligand was synthesized through the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction of diethyl-5-azidoisophthalate (M1) and diethyl-5-ethynylisophthalate (M2). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses for 1-4 reveal that they are isostructural. These compounds crystallize in the monoclinic P2(1)/c space group with the rutile topology. The luminescent properties of compounds 2 and 3 were investigated and characteristic Eu(III) and Tb(III) emissions are observed. Compound 3 exhibits selective luminescent sensing behavior for Cu(2+) ions in aqueous solution. The magnetic properties of compounds 3 and 4 were studied.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
