Abstract
This is the first report on the synthesis and characterization of tetra-1,3-diketone derivatives of tetrthia- and calix[4]arenes substituted by acetylacetonyl or dipivaloylmethanyl moieties at the upper rim and bearing hydroxyl groups at the lower rim as ligands for Tb3+ complexes. The spatial structure and tautomeric content for the synthesized ligands have been determined by means of X-ray, IR and NMR spectroscopy. Comparison of the sensitizing properties of tetrathiacalix[4]arenes and their calix[4]arene analogues on the Tb3+-centered luminescence in DMF solutions has been performed. A substantial enhancement of the luminescent properties of Tb3+- complexes with tetra-1,3-diketone ligands promoted by the tetrathiacalix[4]arene scaffold was established.
