Preparation of photonic molecular trains via soft-crystal polymerization of lanthanide complexes.

ABSTRACT: Soft-crystals are defined as flexible molecular solids with highly ordered structures and have attracted attention in molecular sensing materials based on external triggers and environments. Here, we show the soft-crystal copolymerization of green-luminescent Tb(III) and yellow-luminescent Dy(III) coordination centers. Soft-crystal polymerization is achieved via transformation of monomeric dinuclear complexes and polymeric structures with respect to coordination number and geometry. The structural transformation is characterized using single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. The connected Tb(III) crystal-Dy(III) crystal show photon energy transfer from the Dy(III) centre to the Tb(III) centre under blue light excitation (selective Dy(III) centre excitation: 460 ± 10 nm). The activation energy of the energy transfer is estimated using the temperature-dependent emission lifetimes and emission quantum yields, and time-dependent density functional theory (B3LYP) calculations. Luminescence-conductive polymers, photonic molecular trains, are successfully prepared via soft-crystal polymerization on crystal media with remarkable long-range energy migration.

The metallacryptand portions are comprised of an Al-N-O repeat unit; thus, they can be considered three-dimensional metallacrowns. The encapsulated Ln III ions are nine-coordinate with a spherical capped-square-anti-prism geometry, while the six AlIII ions are all octa-hedral. Four of the AlIII ions are chiral centers with 2 Δ and 2 Λ stereoconfigurations. The remaining two AlIII ions have trans chelate rings from two different shi3- ligands. For 1-3, a section of the main mol-ecule is disordered induced by the presence or absence of a pyridine ligand coordinated to one of the AlIII ions. In the absence of the pyridine moiety, an H2shi- ligand moves into the space otherwise occupied by the pyridine and the phenol oxygen atom coordinates to the AlIII ion. The movement of the H2shi- ligand induces movement for the Ln III ion, for another AlIII ion that also binds the same H2shi- ligand, and for one of the shi3- ligands coordinated to the latter AlIII ion. For 1-3 the occupancy ratio of the metallacryptand portions refined to 0.8550 (13):0.1450 (13), to 0.8909 (13):0.1091 (13), and to 0.8181 (14):0.1819 (14), respectively.
