Abstract (EN):
A combination of host guest and coordination chemistry in the design of a spectroscopic sensor for lanthanide and aluminium ions is described. Nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes with a N2O Schiff base ligand and bearing two benzo-15-crown-5 moieties as flexible arms have been prepared and characterised by FAB-MS, UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopies and, depending on the transition metal, by H-1 NMR or EPR. Recognition studies of alkaline, alkaline-earth, aluminium and lanthanide ions have been attempted in dmf by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Charge transfer and intraligand electronic bands of the Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes show significant changes only in the presence of the M3+ ions used, lanthanides (Er3+, Gd3+ and Pr3+) and Al3+. Spectral changes induced by increasing M3+ concentrations have allowed the calculation of stability constants associated with the coordination of one trivalent ion in each crown ether moiety, corresponding to the formation of 1:2 adducts (metal complex :M3+), with values of log beta(21) in the range 8.2-9.5. No apparent correlation is perceptible between log beta(21) values and the transition metal, but a cavity effect was detected for each metal complex since log beta(21) values increased as lanthanide radii increased.
