Effect of structure on sensing performance of nitro explosives with high sensitivity and mechanism of two Tb(III)
Abstract:
The use of a conjugate N-containing ligand resulted in the decreasing of structural dimensions from 2D network of [Tb(2-pyia)(Ac)(H2O)] (CP1) to 1D chain [Tb(2-pyia)(Ac)(IDP)] (CP2) (2-H2pyia = 5-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy) isophthalic acid and IDP=imidazo[4,5-f]-[1,10] phenanthroline). Both of them exhibit the characteristic luminescence of Tb ions and could have high fluorescence sensing properties for cefixime and fluridine. The different sensing properties for nitro explosives are manifested as CP1 for nitrobenzene and CP2 for 4-nitrophenol due to the difference in structure. Furthermore, CP2 exhibits the ratiometric fluorescence sensing for Fe3+ ion with a low detection limit of 0.405 μM. The fluorescence sensing mechanism of the two Tb complexes for different analytes was investigated using experimental methods and theoretical calculations. CP1 was used for the detection of Flu residues in the actual system and better results were obtained. The work shows the introduction of the chelated ligand might affect the structural and sensing performance changes of coordination polymers.

02:34Structural 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...

02:46Crystal 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,...

02:58Crystal 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.
