A terbium benzoate complex with 1,10-phenanthroline [Tb(ba)3(phen)]2, where ba = benzoate and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, has been prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a = 10.7881(5), b = 11.9262(6), c = 12.4249(6) ?, a = 105.1260(10), β = 93.6010(10), ? = 113.3350(10)o, (C33H23N2O6Tb)2, Mr = 1404.90, V = 1391.87(12) ?3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.676 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 2.590 mm-1, F(000) = 696, the final R = 0.0277 and wR = 0.0670 for 6085 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). The crystal consists of binuclear molecules of the title compound. Each Tb3+ ion is nine-coordinated to one 1,10-phenan- throline molecule, one bidentate carboxylate group and four bridging carboxylate groups. The carboxylate groups are bonded to the terbium ion in three modes: the chelating bidentate, bridging bidentate and bridging-chelating tridentates. Excitation and luminescence data observed at room temperature show that the title complex emits very intensive green fluorescence under ultraviolet light. The results of thermal analysis indicate that the complex [Tb(ba)3phen]2 is very thermal stable.
The title complex [Sm(o-MOBA)3(phen)·H2O]2·4H2O has been synthesized by the reaction of SmCl3·6H2O with o-methoxybenzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline in 1∶3∶1 molar ratio. The crystal structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to triclinic system, space group P1 with a=1.203(10) nm, b=1.293(10) nm, c=1.306(11) nm, α=64.50(10)°, β=81.93(10)°, γ=74.81(10)°. The molecular structure shows that the Sm3+ ion coordinates to nine atoms. The carboxylate groups are bonded to the samarium ion in three modes: monodentate, bidentate chelating, tridentate chelating-bridging. CCDC: 603740.
The thermal decomposition of Tb_2(O-MBA)_6(PHEN)_2 (O-MBA: o-methylbenzoate;PHEN: 1,10-phenanthroline) and its kinetics were studied under the non-isothermal condition bythermogravimetry-derivative thermogravimetry (TG-DTG) techniques. Kinetic parameters were obtainedfrom analysis of TG-DTG curves by the Achar method and the Madhusudanan-Krishnan-Ninan (MKN) method.The most probable mechanism function was suggested by comparing the kinetic parameters. The kineticequation for the first stage can be expressed as dα/dt = Aexp(-E/RT)·3(1 - α)^(2/3). Thelifetime equation at mass loss of 10% was deduced as lnτ= -28.7429 + 19797.795/T by isothermalthermogravimetric analysis.
