0　Introduction

The versatile lanthanide complexes with novel structures and optical properties have recently drawn considerable focus as a result of their promising applications in many fields[1-3].Especially,lanthanide(Ⅱ)coordination polymers have unique properties such asline-likeemission,highcolorpurity,long luminescence lifetime and high quantum yields[4]. However,in general,the spin/parity-forbidden nature of the f-f transitions of lanthanide(Ⅱ)ion results in abominably low molar extinction coefficients and weakluminescence intensity[5-8].Nevertheless,this drawback can be overcome when organic ligands acting as the sensitizer are introduced into the systems.As a result, chromophoric antenna ligands,specially,π-conjugated organic chromophores have been of intense interest owning to their broad and intense adsorption band in ultraviolet[5].So conjugated and rigid multidentate 1-H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]-phenanthroline(IP)is chosen as a ligand.Whats more,if the coordination sites of the lanthanide ions can be filled up,the radiationless deactivation processes maybe diminish[9].In this aspect, pivalic acid(pivH),as a sterically hindered carboxylate ligand[10],together with lanthanide(Ⅱ)ions are applied to prepare low-dimensional structures.

By this strategy,six new monometallic Ln(Ⅱ)complexes,([Ln(piv)3(IP)2],(Ln=Nd(1),Eu(2),Gd(3), Tb(4),Dy(5),Ho(6))were obtained under hydrothermal condition.Block crystals of complexes 1～6 were synthesized with a mixture of pivH,IP and Ln2O3in a 1∶1∶1 molar ratio in 10 mL water at 433 K for 3 days.Only when Lanthanide oxides were employed can the crystals be obtained.If the lanthanide nitrates were used under the various conditions,such as temperature, reaction time,pH value and solvent,none of targeted products can be afforded.

2　Results and discussion

2.1Description of the structures of complexes 1～6 To the best of our knowledge,the lanthanide supramolecular complexes based on both piv-and IP ligands have never been reported.The IR spectra ofallcomplexesexhibitsimilarities(Suppourting information).The absorption peaks around 3 450 cm-1was assigned to the N-H stretching vibrations.There are strong absorption peaks around 1 618～1 561 cm-1(antisymmetric stretching vibrations)and 1 399～1 376 cm-1(symmetric stretching vibrations).Closer inspection shows that there are no absorption peaks around 1 700 cm-1indicating that carboxyl groups are of completely deprotonation[13].

X-raysingle-crystaldiffractionrevealsthat complexes 1～6 crystallize in the monoclinic system with similar cell parameters.All complexes present thesamemolecularstructuresalthoughthe coordination number is a little different.Complexes 1～4 are ten-coordinated while 5～6 are nine-coordinated.Itmaybeassignedtothelanthanide contraction effect[14-15].Herein only the structure of 4 is described in detail.The asymmetric unit of complex 4 consists of one crystallographically independent Tb(Ⅱ)ion,three completely deprotonated piv-ligands,two IP ligands.As shown in Fig.1a,the center Tb(Ⅱ)is tencoordinated by six oxygen atoms from three pivligands,four nitrogen atoms from two IP ligands, forming a somewhat distorted two-capped quadrangularprism coordination geometry.The bond lengths of Tb-O span the range of 0.242 1(5)～0.273 7(7)nm and the bond lengths of Tb-N are in the range of 0.256 3(5)～0.261 7(5)nm.In addition,in the structure of 4,the N-Tb-N bond angle are in the range of 62.65(17)°～143.73(16)°,and the bond angle of O-Tb-O and O-Tb-N are in the range of 48.2(2)°～169.7(2)°and 67.36(16)°～157.19(18)°,respectively.Closer inspection shows that there are two types of hydrogen bonds between phenanthroline nitrogens atom and carboxylic oxygen atoms(N1-H…O40.2753(7)nm,N4-H…O1 0.2766(9) nm).Themononuclear molecules are linked by these hydrogen bonds in-AA-mode to afford a 1D boundless chain(Fig.1b).In addition,the π-π stacking interactions also exist between the two neighboring IP ligands with the average center to-center distance of ca.0.3579nm,whichfurtherconsolidatethestructure.

2.2PXRD results and thermal analyses

Powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD)experiments were performed on complexes 1～6 at room temperature to estimate if the crystalline samples are of phase purity.All major peaks in the measured patterns match quite well with those of the simulated ones, indicating that the bulk as-prepared products are pure (Fig.2).

Fig.2Powder X-ray diffraction patterns of complexes 1～6

The isomorphous structures result in a similar thermal decomposition process,so complexes 1 and 2 werechosenasrepresentativeexamplesfor thermogravimetric analyses in order to estimate the stability of the complexes.TGA experiments were carried out on these new crystalline materials in the temperature range of 30～750℃with a heating rate of 10℃·min-1in dry air atmosphere,as illustrated in Fig.3.Complex 1 shows no obvious weight loss process under 355℃(358℃for 2),exhibiting a high thermal stability as there are no coordinated water molecules or solvent molecules in the coordination structure.With the temperature increasing,complexes began to experience stepwise destructive changes,ligands and result in the collapse of whole structure.

2.3Photoluminescent properties

As shown in Fig.4,the solid-state luminescent properties of complexes of 2 and 4 were investigated in the range of 400～750 nm at ambient temperature. TheEu-basedcomplexof2emitsintensered fluorescence upon excitation at 350 nm,exhibiting characteristic bands at 579(5D0→7F0),593(5D0→7F1), 618(5D0→7F2),652(5D0→7F3)and 694 nm(5D0→7F4). The5D0→7F0and5D0→7F3transition are relative weak, which are regarded as both strictly forbidden in magnetic-dipole(MD)andelectricdipole(ED) schemes[5,14-18].It can be noted that5D0→7F1and5D0→7F2are the more intense transitions.The5D0→7F1is a MD-allowed transition and insensitive to the local environment around Eu(Ⅱ)ions.However,thetransition is an ED transition,of which the intensity decreases as the site symmetry of Eu(Ⅱ)increases[13-14]. The luminescent intensity ratio ofapproximate 1.3,which suggests that Eu(Ⅱ)ions in 2 have a relatively high centrosymmetric coordination environment matching well with the results of the single-crystal X-ray analysis.On complexation of IP and piv-with Tb(Ⅱ),complex 4 generates pure green luminescence.The emission peaks occur at 490,545, 585and622nmwhenexcitedat394nm, corresponding to5D4→7F6,5D4→7F5,5D4→7F4,5D4→7F3, respectively.

A series of novel monometallic coordination complexes[Ln(piv)3(IP)2],(Ln=Nd(1),Eu(2),Gd(3),Tb(4), Dy(5),Ho(6),IP=1-H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]-phenanthroline,pivH=pivalic acid)have been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal condition.Complexes 1～6 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, elemental analyses,IR spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction.The result reveals that all the six new complexes present similar 0-dimensional structures,which are further extended into the one-dimensional(1D) architectures through hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions.Meanwhile,the thermogravimetric analyses of complexes 1 and 2 and photoluminescent properties of complexes 2 and 4 have also been investigated.CCDC: 1476957,1;1476958,2;1476959,3;1476960,4;1476961,5;1476962,6.
