The excitation and luminescence spectra of the
ligand and complexes were recorded on a Fluorolog
FL 3ꢀ22 spectrofluorimeter (HORIBA JobinꢀYvon
Inc., France) with a 450W ozoneless Xe lamp. For
measurements in the IR spectral range, the spectrofluꢀ
orimeter was equipped with an InGaAs photoresisꢀ
tance (DSSꢀIGAO20L, ElectroꢀOptical Systems,
Inc.) cooled with liquid nitrogen. In addition, lumiꢀ
nescence spectra were also recorded on an SDLꢀ1 difꢀ
fraction spectrometer (LOMO, St. Petersburg) with a
DRShꢀ250 mercury lamp, and the emission of the
most intense line of the lamp at 365 nm was picked out
with the UFSꢀ2 light filter. The energy of the triplet
level of the ligand (ET1, cm–1) was determined by the
phosphorescence spectrum of the Gd(III) complex at
77 K. The luminescence quantum yield of the comꢀ
plexes was determined by comparing with references,
namely, tris(2,2'ꢀbipyridine)ruthenium(II) chloride
(Ru(Bipy)3Cl2) and zinc mesoꢀtetraphenylporphyriꢀ
nate (ZnTPP).
A 0.01 M solution of the ligand in acetonitrile preꢀ
pared by an exact weighed sample of the ligand was
used. Aqueous 0.1 M solutions of praseodymium,
neodymium, samarium, europium, and ytterbium
perchlorates were prepared from the corresponding
oxides (Ln2O3, 99.98%) by the dissolution of the oxides
in perchloric acid with removal of its excess by evapoꢀ
ration to the wet salts. The dry residue was dissolved in
bidistilled water, and the solution was brought to a
necessary volume in a volumetric flask. An exact conꢀ
centration of Ln(III) was determined by titration with
a solution of Trilon B in the presence of the indicator
arsenazo I. Solutions with a lower concentration were
obtained by the dilution of the starting solutions.
Other reactants used were reagent or analytical
grade. Organic solvents of grades lower than analytical
grade were purified by distillation [11].
Solutions of the complexes were prepared by mixꢀ
ing of an aqueous solution of Ln(ClO4)3 with an acetoꢀ
nitrile solution of the ligand in the presence of the
buffer with a necessary pH value. Acetate–ammonia
buffer solutions were used. The pH values were meaꢀ
sured using an OP 211/1 pH meter (Hungary) with an
ESLꢀ43ꢀ07 glass electrode and a silver chloride referꢀ
ence electrode.
The luminescence of the lanthanide complexes
with the ligand as a suspension of precipitates in soluꢀ
tions [1] was detected for Pr3+ (in the range from 580
to 630 nm), Sm3+ (550–670 nm), Eu3+ (570–660 nm),
Nd3+ (850–1100 nm), and Yb3+ (920–1100 nm). A
quartz cell (l = 1 cm) was used for solutions of the
complexes, and a cell with a hole 7 mm in diameter
was used for solid samples.
The solid complexes were obtained by the dropwise
addition of an acetonitrile solution (
