Stoichiometric Lanthanide Compounds with Diglycolamides: A Synthetic Approach toward Understanding Rare-Earth Speciation in Solution
A fundamental understanding of coordination chemistry across the lanthanide series is essential for explaining the chemical behavior of rare-earth metals in complex liquid–liquid extraction processes. Probing the exact bonding between the extractant and the metal is sometimes done through the synthesis of solid-state compounds that can serve as models for metal speciation in solution. In the case of diglycolamide (DGA), a commonly used neutral diamide extractant, extensive studies identify the stepwise formation of 1:1 [Ln(DGA)(H2O)6]3+, 1:2 [Ln(DGA)2(H2O)3]3+, and 1:3 [Ln(DGA)3]3+ complexes in solution. The crystallographic reports, however, exclusively show a 1:3 [Ln(DGA)3]3+ moiety in the solid state, while the structures of 1:1 and 1:2 complexes are yet to be isolated and comprehensively studied. In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of three new families of stoichiometric N,N,N′,N’-tetramethyldiglycolamide (TMDGA) compounds: [Ln(TMDGA)(H2O)5Cl]Cl2·2H2O, [Ln(TMDGA)2(H2O)3]Cl3·3H2O, and [Ln(TMDGA)3]Cl3·7H2O, where Ln = Nd, Eu, Gd, with Ln:TMDGA ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3, respectively. The compounds have been analyzed using vibrational spectroscopy (both Raman and FT-IR), as well as variable temperature fluorescence spectroscopy. A spectrophotometric titration of Eu(III) was performed to confirm the presence of the [Eu(TMDGA)n]3+ (n = 1, 2, and 3) species in solution and to compare the individual solid-state emission spectra to their respective analogues in solution.
