We report the [Mn/Mn]Mn(II) complexes of the macrocyclic chelators PYAN [3,6,10,13-tetraaza-1,8(2,6)-dipyridinacyclotetradecaphane] and CHXPYAN [(4,4,10,10)-3,5,9,11-tetraaza-1,7(2,6)-dipyridina-4,10(1,2)-dicyclohexanacyclododecaphane]. The X-ray crystal structures of Mn-PYAN and Mn-CHXPYAN evidence distorted octahedral geometries through coordination of the nitrogen atoms of the macrocycles. Cyclic voltammetry studies evidence reversible processes due to the Mn(II)/Mn(III) pair, indicating that the complexes are resistant to oxidation.

We present a detailed investigation on the coordination chemistry of [Pb]Pb(II) with chelators HPYTA and HCHX-PYTA. These chelators belong to the family of ligands derived from the 18-membered macrocyclic backbone PYAN and present varying degrees of rigidity due to the presence of either ethyl or cyclohexyl spacers. A complete study of the stable Pb(II) complexes is carried out via NMR, X-Ray crystallography, stability constant determination and computational studies.

We report a spectroscopic and computational study that investigates the absorption spectra of Bi(III) complexes, which often show an absorption band in the UV region (∼270-350 nm) due to 6sp ← 6s transitions. We investigated the spectra of three simple complexes, [BiCl], [BiCl] and [Bi(DMSO)], which show absorption maxima at 334, 326 and 279 nm due to P ← S transitions. Theoretical calculations based on quasi-degenerate N-electron valence perturbation theory to second order (QD-NEVPT2) provide an accurate description of the absorption spectra when employing CAS(2,9) wave functions.

We present a set of donor radii for the rare-earth cations obtained from the analysis of structural data available in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). Theoretical calculations using density functional theory (DFT) and wave function approaches (NEVPT2) demonstrate that the Ln-donor distances can be broken down into contributions of the cation and the donor atom, with the minimum in electron density (ρ) that defines the position of (3,-1) critical points corresponding well with Shannon's crystal radii (CR). Subsequent linear fits of the experimental bond distances for all rare earth cations (except ) afforded donor radii () that allow for the prediction of Ln-donor distances regardless of the nature of the rare-earth cation and its oxidation state.

We present a detailed analysis of the H NMR chemical shifts and transverse relaxation rates of three small Dy(III) complexes having different symmetries (, or ). The complexes show sizeable emission in the visible region due to F → H transitions ( = 15/2 to 11/2). Additionally, NIR emission is observed at ca.

We report a macrocyclic ligand (H) based on a 3,6,10,13-tetraaza-1,8(2,6)-dipyridinacyclotetradecaphane platform containing three acetate pendant arms and a benzyl group attached to the fourth nitrogen atom of the macrocycle. The X-ray structures of the Y and Tb complexes reveal nine coordination of the ligand to the metal ions through the six nitrogen atoms of the macrocycle and three oxygen atoms of the carboxylate pendants. A combination of NMR spectroscopic studies (H, C, and Y) and DFT calculations indicated that the structure of the Y complex in the solid state is maintained in an aqueous solution.
