Exploring the Spatial Arrangement of Simple 18-Membered Hexaazatetraamine Macrocyclic Ligands in Their Metal Complexes

resumo

Hexaazamacrocyclic Schiff bases have been extensively combined with lanthanoid (Ln) ions to obtain complexes with a highly axial geometry. However, the use of flexible hexaazatetraamine macrocycles containing two pyridines and acyclic spacers is rather uncommon. Accordingly, we obtained [DyL(OAc)(2)]OAc7H(2)OEtOH and [DyLMe2(Cl)(2)]Cl2H(2)O, where L and L-Me2 are the 18-membered macrocycles 3,6,10,13-tetraaza-1,8(2,6)-dipyridinacyclotetradecaphane and 3,10-dimethyl-3,6,10,13-tetraaza-1,8(2,6)-dipyridinacyclotetradecaphane, respectively, which contain ethylene and methylethylene spacers between their N-3 moieties. [DyL(OAc)(2)]OAc7H(2)OEtOH represents the first crystallographically characterized lanthanoid complex of L, while [DyLMe2(Cl)(2)]Cl2H(2)O contributes to increasing the scarce number of Ln(III) compounds containing L-Me2. Furthermore, the crystal structure of L12H(2)O was solved, and it was compared with those of other related macrocycles previously published. Likewise, the crystal structures of the Dy-III complexes were compared with those of the lanthanoid and d-metal complexes of other 18-membered N-6 donor macrocycles. This comparison showed some effect of the spacers employed, as well as the influence of the size of the ancillary ligands and the metal ion. Additionally, the distinct folding behaviors of these macrocycles influenced their coordination geometries. Moreover, the luminescent properties of [DyL(OAc)(2)]OAc7H(2)OEtOH and [DyLMe2(Cl)(2)]Cl2H(2)O were also investigated, showing that both complexes are fluorescent, with the emission being sensitized by the ligands.
