Complexes of lanthanide(III) salts with N,N'-bis(2'-pyridinecarboxamide)-1,8-naphthalene

Journal Article · · J. Coord. Chem.; (United States)
A survey of the literature on lanthanide(III) coordination compounds reveals that ligands involving secondary amide groups as donor sites have received little attention. N,N'-bis(2'-pyridinecarboxamide)-1,8-naphthalene (LH2, I), a potentially tetradentate bis-amide ligand, has been shown to coordinate to transition metal ions in several modes. As part of this systematic investigation of metal-amide interactions, new complexes of lanthanide(III) bromides, nitrates, perchlorates and thiocyanates with LH2 have been prepared and studied. Some preliminary results of this work, concerning rare earth chloride-LH2 interactions, have been published elsewhere. 21 references, 1 figure, 1 table.
