TI - Effect of second ligand on the luminescence of Samarium (III) dibenzoylmethane complexes: syntheses, crystal structures, thermal analysis and luminescence study SN - 09743626 AV - QD31 JOU PY - 2015/// CY - Bangalore PB - Springer KW - Samarium(III) KW - Ternary complexes KW - Crystal structure N2 - The ternary complexes of Sm(III) with dibenzoylmethane (dbm) were synthesized by introducing 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen), 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (tmphen), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dpphen), 2,2-bipyridyl (bpy), 4,4’-dimethyl-2,2-bipyridyl (4,4-dmbpy), 5,5’-dimethyl-2,2-bipyridyl (5,5-dmbpy) and 4,4’-di-tert-butyl-2,2-bipyridyl (4,4-dtbbpy) as a second ligand. The complexes were isolated and characterized by elemental analysis (CHN), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), IR spectroscopy, luminescence spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural study shows that in all complexes Sm(III) is in square antiprism geometry. All complexes emit strong luminescence under ultraviolet excitation. The strongest emission is at 643 nm which can be assigned for 4 G 5/2 to 6 H 9/2 transition, equivalent to energy of 15550 cm−1. The addition of the second ligand has increased the emission intensity of the complexes while the transition is maintained UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/s12039-015-0986-8 ER -
