Title: Synthesis, characterization, and utility of trifluoroacetic acid lanthanide precursors for production of varied phase fluorinated lanthanide nanomaterials

Abstract

The synthesis of a series of lanthanide trifluoroacetic acid (H-TFA) derivatives which contain only the TFA and its conjugate acid has been developed. From the reaction of Ln(N(SiMe3)2)3 with an excess amount of H-TFA, the products were identified as: [Ln(μ-TFA)3(H-TFA)2]n (Ln = Y, Ce, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy), [Ln(μ-TFA)3(μ-H-TFA)]n·solv (Ln·solv = Pr·2 H-TFA, H3O+, Ho·2py, Er·py, Yb·py, H-TFA), 3[H][(TFA)La(μ-TFA)3La(TFA)(μ-TFA)2c-TFA)2]n ½(H2O) ½(H2O, H-TFA) (La·½(H2O) ½(H2O, H-TFA)), [(k2-TFA)Nd(μ-TFA)3]n·H-py+ (Nd·H-py+), [(py)2Tm(μ-TFA)3]n (Tm), or [Lu(μ-TFA)4Lu(μ-TFA)3·H3O+]n (Lu·H3O+). Here, the majority of samples formed long chain polymers with 3 or 4 μ-TFA ligands. Tm was isolated with py coordinated to the metal, whereas Ho, Er, and Yb were isolated with py located within the lattice. Select samples from this set of compounds were used to generate nanomaterials under solvothermal (SOLVO) conditions using pyridine (py) or octylamine at 185 °C for 24 h. The SOLVO products were isolated as: (i) from py: La – fluocerite (LaF3, PDF 98-000-0214, R = 9.64%, 35(0) nm), Tb – terbium fluoride (TbF3, PDF 00-037-1487, R = 4.76%, 21(2) nm), Lu lutetium oxy fluoride (LuOF, PDF 00-052-0779, R = 8.24%, 8(2) nm); (ii) from octylamine: La – fluocerite/lanthanum oxide carbonate (LaF3, PDF 98-000-0214, R = 7.47%, 5(0) nm; La2O2(CO3), PDF 01-070-5539,more » R = 12.32%, 12(0) nm), Tb – terbium oxy fluoride (TbOF, PDF 00-008-0230, R = 7.01%, 5(0) nm); Lu – lutetium oxide (Lu2O3, PDF 00-012-0728, R = 6.52%, 6(1) nm).« less
