Resumo

In this paper we report the preparation, characterization (infrared absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and thermogravimetric analysis), and DFT based electronic structure calculations (GKSEDA), used to shed light into the metal-ligand bonding situation, of a set of Eu3+ complexes containing tris-(pyrazolyl)borate ``scorpionate{''} (Tp) and phenantroline (phen) as ligands in different proportions. The Infrared results point out that the complexes {[}Eu(phen)(Tp)(3)] (Eu/phen/Tp molar ratio 1:1:3) is not obtained, suggesting that Tp ligand displaces phen ligand leading to the formation of {[}Eu(Tp)(3)] (molar ratio 1:3). Photoluminescence results, including emission and excitation spectra give support to the vibrational spectra interpretation, confirming that three ligands Tp displace the ligand phen, to form {[}Eu (Tp)(3)]. GKS-EDA results show that Eu3+-Tp interactions are much more stabilizing than Eu3+-phen interactions, in agreement with the experimental evidences that the third Tp remove phen from the Eu3+ coordination environment.
