AI Article Synopsis

  • A new series of liquid rare earth chlorometallate complexes featuring the alkyl-phosphonium cation [P666 14](+) has been created and studied in detail.
  • EXAFS analysis showed that the [LnCl6](3-) ion is the main form in these liquids for elements like Nd, Eu, and Dy.
  • The luminescence properties revealed visible light emissions for Tb, Eu, Pr, and Sm, plus near-infrared emissions for Nd and Er, with effective magnetic moments measured for several rare earth samples.

Article Abstract

A range of liquid rare earth chlorometallate complexes with the alkyl-phosphonium cation, [P666 14](+), has been synthesized and characterized. EXAFS confirmed the predominant liquid-state speciation of the [LnCl6](3-) ion in the series with Ln = Nd, Eu, Dy. The crystal structure of the shorter-alkyl-chain cation analogue [P4444](+) has been determined and exhibits a very large unit cell. The luminescence properties, with visible-light emissions of the liquid Tb, Eu, Pr, and Sm and the NIR emissions for the Nd and Er compounds, were determined. The effective magnetic moments were measured and fitted for the Nd, Tb, Ho, Dy, Gd, and Er samples.
