The structure and solid-state luminescence properties of an EuIII compound with two different lanthanide sites, [Eu(μ-O)5(OH)(H2O)2][Eu(DOTA)(H2O)]2 (DOTA is 1,4,7,10-tetrazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetate, C16H24N4O8), were determined. The compound crystallizes in a laminar structure in the triclinic space group P\overline{1}, where the two sites are a free europium(III) ion and an [Eu(DOTA)(H2O)]− complex. The crystal structure was determined using complex data treatment due to nonmerohedral twinning. Experimental data sets were recorded with large redundancy and separated according to scattering domains in order to obtain a reliable structure. In the first site, the [Eu(DOTA)(H2O)]− complex was found to adopt a capped twisted square-antiprismatic (cTSAP) conformation, where a capping water molecule increased the coordination number of the europium(III) site to nine (CN = 9). In the second site, the europium(III) ion was found to be coordinated by two water molecules, one hydroxide group and five oxide groups from neighbouring [Eu(DOTA)(H2O)]− complexes. The coordination geometry of this site was found to be a compressed square antiprism (SAP) and the coordination number of the europium(III) ion was found to be eight (CN = 8). A large increase in the rate constant of luminescence was observed for EuIII in [Eu(DOTA)(H2O)]− in solid-state luminescence spectroscopy measurements compared to in solution, which led to investigations of single crystals in deuterated media to exclude additional effects of quenching. We conclude that the most probable cause of the decrease in the observed luminescence lifetimes is the high asymmetry of the coordination environment of [Eu(DOTA)(D2O)]− in the [Eu(μ-O)5(OD)(D2O)2][Eu(DOTA)(D2O)]2 crystals.

The structure and solid state luminescence properties of a homometallic heterotrinuclear [Eu(μO)5(OH2)3][Eu(DOTA)(H2O)]2Cl crystal was determined and was found to have two sites: a free europium(III) ion and a [Eu(DOTA)(H2O)]- complex. The trinuclear compound crystallizes in a laminar structure in triclinic space group P. The crystal structure was determined using complex data treatment due to non-merohedric twinning. Experimental data sets were recorded with large redundancy and separated according to scattering domain in order to obtain a reliable structure, which revealed the configuration of the europium(III) sites. In first site, the europium(III) 1,4,7,10-tetrazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetate (Eu.DOTA) complex was found to adopt a capped twisted square antiprismatic (cTSAP) conformation, where a capping water molecule increased the coordination number of the europium(III) site to nine (CN = 9). In the second site, the cationic europium(III) ion was found to be coordinated by three water molecules and five oxy groups from neighboring [Eu(DOTA)(H2O)]- complexes. The coordination geometry of this site was found to be a compressed square antiprism (SAP), and the coordination number of the europium(III) ion was found to be eight (CN = 8). A large increase in rate constant of luminescence was observed for Eu(III) in [Eu(DOTA)(H2O)]- in solid state luminescence spectroscopy measurements compared to in solution, which lead to investigations of single-crystals in deuterated media to exclude additional effects of quenching.

In 1, four L ligands bridge four Zn(II) atoms to form a square-shaped structure, where four phen ligands are respectively located on four corners of the square. The ?-? stacking interactions extend the adjacent squares into a 1D supramolecular chain. The thermal behavior of 1 has been characterized. Moreover, its solid state luminescence property has been studied at room temperature.

Abstract A new, improved method of synthesis for the cyclothiazeno complex AsPh4[WCl4(N3S2)] consists of the reaction of Na2WO4 with molten trithiazyl chloride (NSCl)3 followed by treatment with AsPh4Cl in CH2C12. Through the reaction with silver azide suspended in CH2C12 in the presence of moisture, black crystalline (AsPh4)2[W(N3S2)(O)(N3)2]2 is obtained. Its IR spectrum and its crystal structure are reported. Crystal data: triclinic, space group P1̄, Z = 1, a - 1018.3, b = 1107.8, c = 1379.1 pm; a = 91.11°, β = 106.74°, γ = 113.91°. Structure determination with 3219 observed reflexions, R = 0.061. The structure consists of AsPh4+ cations arranged to form (AsPh4+)2 pairs and of dimeric anions [W(N3S2)(O)(N3)2]2⊖ in which the tungsten atom s are members of planar cyclothiazeno rings WN3S2 with WN bond lengths of 186 and 222 pm. The oxygen atoms are in positions trans to the longer of these bonds. One of the N atoms of each cyclothiazeno ring is involved in the dimerization resulting in a centrosymmetric W2N2 ring. The azido groups are situated above and below the ring system and complete the coordination number of six for the W atoms with WN distances of 208 and 212 pm

Crystals of the complex [Cu(NCO)2(C6Hi2N4)2] could be obtained by reaction of copper- (II)nitrate, hexamethylenetetramine, and KNCO in CHCI3 as a solvent. The crystals are triclinic, space group Cl, Z = 4, a = 1373.1(9), b = 2083.1(9), c = 642.6(3) pm, a = 91.05(4), β = 90.54(6), y = 107.39(6)°. The copper atom is bonded to two terminal cyanato groups via the nitrogen atoms, and to two liexamethylentetramine molecules. In the solid state the coordination of the copper atom is, however, tetragonal pyramidal, because there is an additional, rather long bond to one of the hexamethylenetetramine molecules of the neighbouring complex unit, resulting in the formation of chains
