Abstract

The synthesis, structure, and luminescent propertiesof a samarium(III) complex (A2) containing benzoyltrifluoroacetone (HTFPB) and 1,2-bis[(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)amino]ethane (BAAE2) ligands are herein reported. The structure of A2 has been elucidated by infrared spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray crystallographic analysis demonstrated that A2 has a mononuclear structure with a formula of Sm(TFPB)3(BAAE2) in which Sm3+ ion is coordinated to six O-atoms from three TFPB ligands and two N-atoms from one ancillary ligand (BAAE2). UV-Vis data show that A2 strongly absorbs in the region of 220-400 nm. Nonetheless, A2 gives poor emission due to a quenching effect of the anthracenyl moiety.
