A Series of Dimeric Selenidogermanates with Lanthanide Complexes of Multidentate Chelating Amines
Abstract
A series of lanthanide selenidogermanates (H3O)[Tm(teta)2][Ge2Se6] (1, teta = triethylenetetramine) and [Ln(teta)(tren)Cl]2[Ge2Se6](en) {en = ethylenediamine, tren = N,N,N- tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, Ln = Pr (2a), Nd (2b), Sm (2c), Eu (2d), Gd (2e), Tb (2f)}were prepared under mild solvothermal conditions and structurally characterized. 1 contains isolated [Tm(teta)2]3+ ions, protonated H3O+ ions and dimeric [Ge2Se6]4− anions, while 2a–f are composed of [Ln(teta)(tren)Cl]3+ ions, dimeric [Ge2Se6]4− anions and free en molecules. The lighter lanthanide ions (Pr–Tb) adopt a distorted tricapped trigonal prism with the nine-coordinated number, and the heavier Tm3+ ion adopts a distorted bicapped trigonal prism with the eight-coordinated number. Their band gaps in the range of 1.52–1.86 eV are derived from optical absorption spectra.

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.
