Abstract

A series of novel organic–inorganic complexes based on trivalent lanthanide and HOOC–C6H4–CH2PO(OH)(OC2H5) (H2L′) formulated as Ln(HL)(H2L)(H2O) (H3L = HOOC–C6H4–CH2PO(OH)2, Ln = La, 1; Ce, 2; Pr, 3; Nd, 4; Sm, 5; Eu, 6; Gd, 7; and Tb, 8) have been obtained as single phases by regulating the pH values under hydrothermal conditions. They are isomorphous and feature a network in which the LnO7 polyhedra are interconnected by bridging CPO3 tetrahedra into inorganic layers. These layers are further cross-linked by hydrogen bonds of the carboxyl acid groups of ligands into a S-shape pillared framework architecture. Luminescent measurements indicate that complexes 1–5 and 7 exhibit ligand-centered blue light emission bands. Complexes 6 and 8 display Ln-centered strong red and green luminescence, respectively. To elucidate the energy transfer process between ligands and metal ions, the energy levels of the relevant electronic states have been estimated. Simultaneously Eu3+ and Tb3+ were observed to accept energy with their several different 5Dj, resonance levels depending on the lowest triplet state energy level of the ligand. Magnetic properties of 7 and 8 have also been studied.
