he inclusion of lanthanoids in ionic liquids (ILs) offers an ideal route to incorporate their unique luminescent and magnetic properties into a bulk solution.1,2 However, lanthanoid compounds often exhibit a poor solubility in commonly used ILs because the IL anions are typically very weakly coordinating, prohibiting the simple dissolution of a lanthanoid salt by complexation to any beneficial extent.2 One strategy used to achieve high lanthanoid concentrations is to incorporate the lanthanoid cation directly into an anion that will form ILs.3 This is best accomplished by employing a ligand which readily coordinates to a lanthanoid atom and possesses properties, such …

Seven new coordination polymers ∞2[Ln(tfBDC)(NO3)(DMF)2]·DMF (Ln3+ = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Dy, Er, Yb) with the perfluorinated linker ligand tetrafluoroterephthalate (tfBDC2−) have been synthesized. Their crystal structures consist of layers (44 nets) weakly bound by van der Waals interactions. In addition, differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetry (DTA/TG) curves, as well as absorption and emission spectra, have been recorded for all compounds.

Betaine Chloride-Betaine Tetrachloridoferrate(Iii)—An Ionic Liquid Related Crystal Structure Governed By The Pearson Concept, Anja V. Mudring, Tobias Backer

The first betaine chloride tetrachloroidoferrate(III) double salt, (Hbet)2Cl[FeCl4] = (Hbet)Cl·(Hbet)[FeCl4], was obtained from a solution of betaine hydrochloride (HbetCl) and FeCl3∙6 H2O in water. The crystal structure (orthorhombic, Pbcm, a = 6.2717(13), b = 12.841(3), c = 25.693(5) Å, Z = 4) is characterized by layers of tetrachloridoferrate(III) anions separated by chloride-bridged, H-bond mediated cationic (Hbet) dimers. The hydrogen bonding network in the crystal structure follows the Pearson HSAB (hard acid-soft base) concept: According to the Pearson concept, the chloride anions show high affinity to the carboxyl group (hard acid and base), and the tetrachloroidoferrate(III) anion preferentially interacts with the …
