Abstract

Two complexes, (enH2)3[TbIII(ttha)]2 · 11H2O (1) (en = ethylenediamine and H6ttha = triethylenetetramine-N, N, N ′, N ″, N ′′′, N ′′′-hexaacetic acid) and (enH2)[TbIII(pdta)(H2O)]2 · 8H2O (2) (H4pdta = propylenediamine-N, N, N ′, N ′-tetraacetic acid), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectrum, UV-Vis spectrum, fluorescence spectrum, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The central TbIII of 1 is nine-coordinate, pseudo-monocapped square antiprism with four nitrogens and five oxygens from one ttha, and crystallizing in the monoclinic crystal system with P21/n space group. There is a free (non-coordinate) carboxylate (–CH2COO−) in the . The central TbIII of 2 is eight-coordinate in a standard square antiprism with two nitrogens and four oxygens of one pdta, one oxygen from a carboxylate of an adjacent pdta, and one oxygen from water, crystallizing in the monoclinic crystal system with C2/c space group. Binding between the with or [TbIII(pdta)(H2O)]− is reviewed, providing the basis for interaction of TbIII complexes with biomolecules.
