Reaction between EuCl3 and the ligand 1,3-di(thien-2-yl)propane-1,3-dione (L) leads to luminescent coordination compounds [EuL3(EtOH)2] (1), [EuL2(i-PrOH)4]Cl (2) and [EuL3(i-PrOH)2] (3), isolated as single crystals in high yield (70%-95%). The Eu/?-diketonate ratio is tuned from 1:2 to 1:3 through the variation of the alcoholic solvent (ethanol and isopropanol) or the base (pyridine and NaOH). In all compounds, Eu3+ ions are eight-coordinated, and in 2, the molecules are arranged in an H-bond supported supramolecular 1D chain. These compositional and structural differences are reflected also on the absorption and emission properties.

Abstract
Reaction between EuCl3 and the ligand 1,3-di(thien-2-yl)propane-1,3-dione (L) leads to luminescent coordination compounds [EuL3(EtOH)2] (1), [EuL2(i-PrOH)4]Cl (2) and [EuL3(i-PrOH)2] (3), isolated as single crystals in high yield (70%-95%). The Eu/?-diketonate ratio is tuned from 1:2 to 1:3 through the variation of the alcoholic solvent (ethanol and isopropanol) or the base (pyridine and NaOH). In all compounds, Eu3+ ions are eight-coordinated, and in 2, the molecules are arranged in an H-bond supported supramolecular 1D chain. These compositional and structural differences are reflected also on the absorption and emission properties.File in questo prodotto:
