| description | A new family of 14 isostructural [Ln(piv)<sub>3</sub>(en)]<sub>∞</sub> lanthanide pivalate (piv<sup>−</sup>, 2,2-dimethylpropanoate) complexes with ethylenediamine (en) was synthesized by a topology-preserving transformation from 1D coordination polymers [Ln(piv)<sub>3</sub>]<sub>∞</sub>. The crystal structures of the compounds were determined by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, which demonstrated that despite the regular ligand arrangement within the chains, the latter are intricately packed within the partially ordered crystal, as only two of four ligands are strictly bound by the translational symmetry. The peculiarities of the lanthanide coordination environment were explored by total X-ray scattering with pair distribution function analysis. Periodic DFT calculations revealed the chain stabilization by intrachain H-bonds and weak interchain interactions. Noticeably, the energy difference was infinitesimally small even between the two considered extreme variants of ordered packing, which is in line with the disturbed packing order of the chains. The luminescent properties of Eu and Tb complexes were investigated in order to prove the energy transfer between lanthanide ions within the heterometallic complex. This opens up the prospect of creating new materials for optical applications. The heterometallic compound Eu<sub>0.05</sub>Tb<sub>0.95</sub>(piv)<sub>3</sub>(en) was synthesized, and was found to demonstrate temperature-dependent luminescence with a linear dependence of the thermometric parameter I(Eu)/I(Tb) within the temperature range from −80 °C to 80 °C, and had a maximum relative sensitivity value of 0.2%/K. |
