Design of pure heterodinuclear lanthanoid cryptate complexes.

ABSTRACT: Heterolanthanide complexes are difficult to synthesize owing to the similar chemistry of the lanthanide ions. Consequently, very few purely heterolanthanide complexes have been synthesized. This is despite the fact that such complexes hold interesting optical and magnetic properties. To fine-tune these properties, it is important that one can choose complexes with any given combination of lanthanides. Herein we report a synthetic procedure which yields pure heterodinuclear lanthanide cryptates LnLn*LX₃ (X = NO₃ ^- or OTf^-) based on the cryptand H₃L = N[(CH₂)₂N[double bond, length as m-dash]CH-R-CH[double bond, length as m-dash]N-(CH₂)₂]₃N (R = m-C₆H₂OH-2
