Аннотация:Our series of works on acylpyrazolonates of lanthanides has shown that although these beta-diketonateligands are effective in sensitizing the luminescence of Tb3+, Dy3+, and Sm3+ ions, and the IR-emittingYb3+ ion, there is typically a sharp drop in efficiency in the case of Eu3+. To investigate this phenomenon,three series of complexes of samarium, europium, and gadolinium with the ligand 4-benzoyl-5-methyl-2-phenyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one (HQPh) were synthesized, namely [LnQ3(H2O)(dmf)] (Ln-1) (dmf= N,N-dimethylformamide), [NEt4][LnQ4] (Ln-2), and {AgLnQ4}n (Ln-3). The structures of these compoundswere determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which showed that series Ln-1 consistsof molecular complexes held together by hydrogen bonds, series Ln-2 consists of ionic crystals, andseries Ln-3 consists of coordination polymers in which silver ions are coordinated by nitrogen atoms ofthe pyrazole rings, forming infinite chains. The study of optical properties revealed that for europium ions,efficient quenching occurs through an LMCT state, with the highest efficiency observed for the complexEu-1. The transition from the ammonium salts Sm-2, Eu-2 to the heterometallic complexes Sm-3 andEu-3 is also accompanied by some unexpected luminescence quenching.
