Estudos espectroscópicos e estruturais dos polímeros de coordenação 2D, ∞[Tb(DPA)(HDPA)] e ∞[Gd(DPA)(HDPA)] Structural and spectroscopic studies of the 2D coordination polymers, ∞[Tb(DPA)(HDPA)] and ∞[Gd(DPA)(HDPA)]

This paper presents the synthesis of the coordination polymers ∞[Ln(DPA)(HDPA)] (DPA=2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate; Ln= Tb and Gd), their structural and spectroscopic properties. The structural study reveals that the ∞[Ln(DPA)(HDPA)] has a single Ln+3 ion coordinated with two H2DPA ligands in tridentade coordination mode, while two others H2DPA establish a syn-bridge with a symmetry-related Ln3+, forming a two-dimensional structure. The spectroscopic studies show that ∞[Tb(DPA)(HDPA)] compound has high quantum yield (q x≈ 50.0%), due to the large contribution of radiative decay rate. Moreover triplet level is localized sufficiently over the emitter level 5D4 of theTb3+ ion, avoiding a retrotransference process between these states.
