SPECTROSCOPIC PROPERTIES OF THE Ln-Ge COMPLEXES WITH DIETHYLENETRIAMINEPENTAACETIC ACID

Abstract

Four new heteronuclear lanthanide complexes with general formula [Ge(OH)(μ-HDTPA)LnGe(OH) (μ-DTPA)] (Ln = Sm – Dy) were synthesized and subsequently characterized by different physico- chemical methods. The structures of new compounds have been proposed. In considered complexes the 4f-luminescence of three-charged ions of samarium, europium, terbium and dysprosium is realized at UV-excitation. It is noteworthy that it is the first observation of 4f-luminescence in water solutions of heteronuclear f-p-complexes. The comparison of luminescent characteristics of hetero- and homonuclear landthanide complexes is described and discussed as well.
