The structure reveals that 1 belongs to the triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 12.044(7), b = 14.841(8), c = 22.305(13) A, α = 85.802(12), β = 85.471(12), γ = 89.174(11)°, Z = 2, V = 3964(4) A3, Dc = 1.804 g·cm-3, F(000) = 2140, μ = 1.757 mm-1, the final R = 0.0734, wR = 0.1094 and S = 1.013. The compound can be viewed as a two-dimensional layered structure composed by 3d-4f hetero-nuclear anions [Cu(phen)Ce(pdc)3]-, coordination cations [Cu(H2pdc)(phen)(H2O)]2+, coordination anions [Ce(pdc)3]3- and protonated water molecules via hydrogen bonding interactions and π-π stacking.

Concerning the structures, compounds 1-(Gd_(18)Ni_(24))nand 2-(Eu_(18)Ni_(23.5))nboth feature the one-dimensional(1D) chain-like structure which is rarely reported in high-nuclearity metal complexes. Meanwhile, the large presences of Gd3+ ions in compound 1-(Gd18Ni24)nare conducive to the fantastic MCE, and the value of-ΔS_(m)is 35.30 J kg^(-1)K^(-1) at 3.0 K and ΔH = 7.0 T. And more significantly, compound 1-Gd_(18)Ni_(24)n shows the large low-field magnetic entropy change(-ΔS_(m)= 20.95 J kg(-1) K(-1) at 2.0 K and ΔH = 2.0 T)among the published 3 d-4 f mixed metal clusters.展开更多

The ground-state calculation showed that only the lowest 5d level Ed of Ce^3+ ion lies around the BCB (bottom of the conduction band) while the lowest 4f levels is 2.5 eV lower than BCB. The CB states consist of 4d of Y mixed with 5d of Ce, even for the wavefunctions (WFS) with energy Ed under BCB there are still 24% of Y-4d and 9% of F-2p as components. So, they are not pure crystal-field states at all. Furthermore, transition state (TS) calculation was performed to obtain the 4f→5d transition energies Efd, to improve the previous calculation performed by Andriessen et al, in which a small CeF8 cluster embedded in an array of point charge was used and the results of ground-state calculation were roughly used to compare with the observed 4f→5 d transition energies. The ionic radius of Ce^3+ is larger than that of y^3+ , so we had also modeled approximately the lattice relaxation. As results, the CeY4Li8F24 cluster with 4.56 % outward relaxation (of the nearest-neighbor and next nearest-neighbor eight fluorines) has the lowest total energy and gave satisfactory 4f→5d energies Efd, but the ground-state calculated Ed is 0.68 eV higher than BCB. For another cluster with 7.36% outward relaxation the Ed is 0.43 eV lower than BCB, which makes the observation of fine structure (including zero-phonon line) of the lowest 5 d band understandable easier, but the splits between the transition energies Efd were not as good as the former. Therefore, we consider the relaxation is some how around 4. 56% -7.36% outward, not as large as 10% proposed by Andriessen et al.展开更多

In PL, an emission band appeared around 400 nm under excitation at 300 nm due to the5 d-4 f transitions of Ce3+. The PL decay curves were approximated by a second-order exponential decay function, and the derived decay time constants ranged around 20-25 ns and 40-480 ns. Similar emission was observed in RL, but the decay time constants were much longer than those in PL. The RL afterglow was the lowest in the 1.0% Ce-doped sample. The 1.0% and 2.0% Ce-doped samples showed a full-energy peak in the pulse height spectrum measured underAm 5.5 MeV α-ray irradiation, and the absolute scintillation light yields were estimated to be around 55 and 36 ph/5.5 MeV-a, respectively.展开更多

文摘(GdCa)(SiO)Oapatite crystals doped with different concentrations of Ce were synthesized by the Floating Zone(FZ) method, and we have evaluated the photoluminescence(PL) and radio luminescence(RL) properties. In PL, an emission band appeared around 400 nm under excitation at 300 nm due to the5 d-4 f transitions of Ce3+. The PL decay curves were approximated by a second-order exponential decay function, and the derived decay time constants ranged around 20-25 ns and 40-480 ns. Similar emission was observed in RL, but the decay time constants were much longer than those in PL. The RL afterglow was the lowest in the 1.0% Ce-doped sample. The 1.0% and 2.0% Ce-doped samples showed a full-energy peak in the pulse height spectrum measured underAm 5.5 MeV α-ray irradiation, and the absolute scintillation light yields were estimated to be around 55 and 36 ph/5.5 MeV-a, respectively.

文摘Six novel 3D layer-pillared lanthanide-transition metal coordination polymers,LnCuX(IN)2(Ac)(H2O)(Ln = Tb,X = Br(1);Ln = Er,X = Cl(2)),[LnCuCl(IN)2(Ac)].H2O(Ln = Gd(3);Ln = Eu(4)),and [LnCu2Br2(IN)2(Ac)(H2O)].nH2O(Ln = Dy,n =0(5);Ln = Gd,n = 0.5(6))(IN = isonicotinate,Ac = acetate),have been obtained by linking Ln-organic layers and diverse Cu-complex pillars under hydrothermal conditions.1 and 2 are isostructural and formed by 2D Ln-IN-Ac layers and CuX(IN)2 pillars(X = Br(1),X= Cl(2));3 and 4 are isomorphic and comprised of 2D Ln-IN-Ac layers and dimeric Cu2Cl(IN)4 pillars;while 5 and 6 are isostructural and built from 2D Ln-IN-Ac layers and tetrameric Cu4Br4(IN)4 pillars.The magnetic susceptibility investigation of 3 and 6 shows the presence of weak antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the Ln3+ ions.Compounds 1-6 represent good examples of using 2D Ln-organic layers and diverse Cu-complex pillars as building units to construct intriguing 3D Ln-TM-organic frameworks.
