Abstract:
A luminescent Eu(III) chiral coordination polymer with a structural transformation system, [Eu(hfa)3((R)-bidp)]n (hfa: haxafluoroacetylacetonato, (R)-bidp: (R)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphinate), is reported. Single-crystal X-ray analysis revealed a characteristic helical polymer structure of [Eu(hfa)3((R)-bidp)]n with hydrogen-fluorine/π interactions. [Eu(hfa)3((R)-bidp)]n shows high thermostability (decomposition temperature = 320 °C) and strong luminescence properties (the 4f-4f emission quantum yield = 76%) in the solid state due to its tight packing and asymmetric structure. [Eu(hfa)3((R)-bidp)]n is also transformed from a polymer to monomer structure in liquid media. The chiroptical properties of the monomer form in liquid media were characterized by using circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence spectra. In this study, structural and photophysical properties of a luminescent Eu(III) chiral coordination polymer with a structural transformation system were demonstrated.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
