Аннотация:Five new lanthanide tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylate (THFC) complexes [Ln(THFC)2(H2O)2]·L·H2O (Ln = Eu; L = Cl−, Br−, NO3− and Ln = Tb; L = Cl−, NO3−) have been synthesized. The crystal structures of four compounds were solved by the X-ray diffraction method. The Ln3+ ions are coordinated to eight oxygen atoms: six oxygen atoms are provided by two tridentate bridging-cyclic THFC ligands, and the other two by water molecules. The Ln3+ coordination polyhedron can be described as a distorted square antiprism. The structures consist of planar layers linked by hydrogen bonds through outer-sphere L anions and H2O molecules. The influence of the L anion on the Eu3+ luminescence center is analyzed with the help of luminescence and IR vibrational spectroscopy. The distortions of the square antiprism increase with the size of the L outer-sphere anions. Consequently, the lowering of the symmetry of the crystal field around the Eu3+ ion appears as an extra splitting of the 7FJ levels under the influence of the crystal field components of the second and fourth ranks.
