abstract
Three new lanthanide(III) complexes (Ln = Sm, Tb and Eu) of picolinic and glutaric acid were prepared and characterised. The crystal structure of the complex [Sm(glu)(pic)(H(2)O)2] (where Hpic and H(2)glu stand for picolinic and glutaric acid, respectively) was determined by single-crystal Xray diffraction. All the Ln complexes were characterised by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and thermoanalytical measurements. The combined data show that these Ln complexes are isostructural. The effect of both organic ligands on the photolumine scent behaviour of the Sm(3+), Eu(3+) and Tb(3+) complexes is discussed and we anticipate the possibility of controlling the photoluminescence of picolinic-containing lanthanide compounds by systematically varying the length of the bridging ligand.
