AI Article Synopsis
- Europium(III) complexes, similar to the established Eu(DBM)Phen, were synthesized and analyzed for their luminescence properties.
- Quantum-chemical calculations revealed that the polymer poly(N-vinylcarbazole) significantly enhances energy transfer when doped with these Eu(III) complexes.
- Experimental results indicate that the molecular structure modifications, including long alkyl chains and cyclohexane, notably improve luminescence efficiency through increased complex anisometry.
Article Abstract
Europium(III) complexes that are the anisometric analogues of a well-known Eu(DBM)Phen (DBM = dibenzoylmethane; Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) complex were synthesized. Quantum-chemical calculations of the excited states of new Eu(III) complexes and some conjugated polymers showed that poly(N-vinylcarbazole) provides the most efficient energy transfer in polymer films doped with synthesized Eu(III) complexes. These new composite films were prepared, and their luminescence properties were studied. The results of experimental data confirmed theoretical prediction about significant influence introduced in molecular structure long terminal alkyl chains and cyclohexane on the luminescence efficiency of "Ln(III)-polymer" composite. As the result a substantial contribution of complex anisometry to the luminescence efficiency of composite was revealed due to the increase of the complex limit concentration before self-quenching more than twofold.

Two artificial imidazole-derived nucleobases, HQIm (3H-imidazo[4,5-f]quinolin-5-ol) and CaIm (imidazole-4-carboxylate), were introduced into short DNA duplexes to systematically investigate their thermal stability upon metal ion coordination. Metal-mediated base pairs are formed with the 3d metal ions CoII, NiII and ZnII, as well as with the lanthanoid ions EuIII and SmIII, which induce a thermal stabilization of up to 8 °C upon binding. The latter are the first lanthanoid-mediated base pairs involving only four donor atoms that result in a significant duplex stabilization.

The extraction and complexation of trivalent americium (Am) and lanthanides (Ln) using an asymmetric picolinic acid-derived tridentate N,O-hybrid ligand, 6-(dioctylcarbamoyl)picolinic acid (DOAPA), have been studied through both experimental and theoretical methods. DOAPA exhibits effective and fast extraction of Am(III) and Ln(III). The extraction is driven by favorable enthalpy change.

Hybrid N,O-donor ligands based on 1,10-phenanthroline are a promising class of compounds for processing high-level waste. Here, we synthesized novel phenanthroline-based diphosphonates containing electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms in alkyl substituents. We studied their extraction properties for Am(III) and, for the first time, for the entire series of lanthanides(III).

Bis-1,2,4-triazine ligands are amongst the most promising soft N-donor ligands for the partitioning of trivalent actinides from trivalent lanthanides; a key separation proposed in the future reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels. In an effort to improve the extraction properties of these benchmark ligands, we propose herein a general ligand design approach that is inspired by the field of drug discovery, and we apply it to a new class of ligands in which the bidentate 3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazine unit of the benchmark ligands is replaced by a bidentate 1,2,4-triazine-3-carboxamide unit. A series of nine novel ligands were synthesized by reactions of readily available ethyl 1,2,4-triazine-3-carboxylate building blocks with different polyamine cores and evaluated for their ability to extract and separate Am(III) and Cm(III) from Eu(III).

Article Synopsis
- This article discusses the synthesis and structural characterization of chiral Tb(III) and Eu(III) complexes using two different ligands: an enantiopure diamine-based ligand and various hydroxycoumarin ligands.
- Different substituents on the coumarin ligands lead to varying efficiencies in capturing light, which affects the luminescence of the Tb(III) and Eu(III) complexes.
- The study includes theoretical calculations that explain the energy transfer processes in the complexes, alongside insights into how the coumarin ligands influence the chiroptical properties of the Tb(III) complexes.
