Synthesis and characterization of Pr(III), Nd(III) and Er(III) complexes with 2,6-pyridinedimethanol
The reactions of Ln(NO3)3∙6H2O (Ln=Pr, Nd or Er) with the potentially tridentate O,N,O chelating ligand 2,6-pyridinedimethanol (H2pydm) in a 1:2 M ratio were investigated, and complexes with the formula [Ln(H2pydm)2(NO3)2](NO3) (Ln=Pr or Nd) (1 and 2) and [Er(H2pydm)3](NO3)3 (3) were isolated. The compounds contain 10-coordinate Pr(III) and Nd(III) ions that crystallize in the triclinic space group P-1 while the 9-coordinate Er(III) complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system (P21/n). A new lanthanide complex, [Pr(H2pydm)3](Cl)3∙DMF (4), has been synthesized by reaction of PrCl3∙6H2O and H2pydm. The nine-coordinate Pr(III) is bound to three H2pydm ligands. X-ray crystal structures of 1–4 reveal that the ligand coordinates tridentate via the pyridyl nitrogen and the two hydroxyl oxygens. The electronic absorption spectra of 1–4 show 4f–4f transitions.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform. Clicks to view the full text will be directed to the publisher website, where only users with subscriptions or access through their institution are able to view the full article.
