| Abstract | |
Complexes of lanthanide picrates with glycine were synthesized and characterized. Analysis of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and thermal analysis data suggest a general formula Ln(pic)3.2Gly·xH20 (Ln = La - Lu and Y; pic = picrate; Gly = glycine; x = 5 for La - Eu and x = 4 for Gd - Lu, Y. Infrared spectra indicate the presence of water molecules and suggest that glycine is coordinated to the central ion through the nitrogen ofthe amine group. Bands due to picrate ions also indicate that at least in part they are coordinated as bidentate through the phenoxo group and one oxygen of an ortho-nitro group. Conductance measurements in acetone show that the complexes behave as non-electrolytes. X-ray powder data show the existence of two isomorphous series: La - Eu and Gd - Lu, Y. The parameters obtained from the absorption spectrum of the Nd compound indicated that the metal-ligand bonds present weak covalent character. The bands due to the transitions 5D0→ 7FJ (J=0, 1, 2, 4) in the emission spectra of the Eu compound were interpreted in terms of C2v symmetry. Thermal analyses results indicated that all the compounds present a similar behavior. The residues after thermal decompositon at 900°C were found to be lanthanide oxides, results further confimed by X-ray diffraction powder patterns. (AU) | |
