Coordination Chemistry of Europium(III) Ion Towards Acylpyrazolone Ligands

Abstract

Two Eu(III) complexes were synthesized using 4-acylpyrazolone ligands: 3-methyl-4-(4-methylbenzoyl)-1-phenyl-pyrazol-5-one (HPMMBP) and 3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-(4-phenylbenzoyl)-pyrazol-5-one (HPPMBP). The composition of the obtained solid complexes was determined as Eu(PMMBP)₃·C₂H₅OH and Eu(PPMBP)₃·3H₂O based on elemental analysis and was further studied by IR, NMR and TG-TSC data. The lanthanoid complexation in solid state and in solution during liquid-liquid extraction (molecular diluent and ionic liquid) is discussed.
