Synthesis and characterization of the rare-earth chloride complexes with N,N,N',N'-tetramethylmalonamide

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry
Exploration of the solid-state chemistry of the f-elements and their coordination chemistry can assist in understanding the speciation of these elements in solution, which, in turn, can aid in the interpretation of their chemical behavior in complex liquid-liquid separations. Within these separation processes, malonamides are common organic extractants that are used for complexing both lanthanides and actinides, thus it is relevant to understand the malonamide ligand complexation under various conditions. In this work, we investigate solid-state complexes of the rare-earth chlorides with N,N,N',N'-tetramethylmalonamide (TMMA) across the entire lanthanide series. Here, we isolated two structural families of compounds Ln(TMMA)2Cl3 Ln = La–Dy and [Ln(TMMA)2(H2O)4]Cl3xH2O x = 0,4 Ln = Ho–Lu, showing differences in chloride coordination from the inner-sphere complex for early lanthanides to outer-sphere for the late lanthanides. Both structural series were additionally analyzed by both IR and Raman spectroscopy confirming similarities in malonamide ligand coordination modes, while showing differences in vibrational features associated with chloride and aqua ligand coordination.
