Abstract
Two series of mononuclear [LnIII(S- or RS-pba)(HBpz3)2] (Ln = Tm, Er, Ho ) and dinuclear [Ln2{μ-(S- or RS-pba)}4(HBpz3 −)2] (Ln = Yb, Ho, Gd, Dy, Nd ) complexes (pba = RS- and/or S-2-phenyl butyrate, HBpz3 = hydrotris(pyrazol-1-yl)borate) were prepared and their X-ray structures and NIR chiroptical properties investigated. Synthesis with a molar ratio 1 ∶ 2 ∶ 1 of Ln ∶ KHBpz3 ∶ pba results in the formation of either mono- or dinuclear complexes, depending on the Ln(III) ionic radii: mononuclear complexes from Yb(III) to Ho(III) and dinuclear ones from Dy(III) to Nd(III). Only the dinuclear complexes for all of the Ln(III) studied were formed with a molar ratio 1 ∶ 1 ∶ 2 of Ln ∶ KHBpz3 ∶ pba. X-Ray structural analysis confirmed dinuclear structures with CH⋯π interactions and linear B⋯Ln⋯Ln⋯B arrangements for the Ln(μ-RS-pba)4Ln(HBpz3)2 (Yb , Ho , Dy, Gd and Nd) complexes and a skew bent arrangement of B⋯Ln⋯Ln⋯B leading to configurational chirality in the Dy(μ-S-pba)4Dy(HBpz3)2 complex. Comparison of NIR chiroptical spectra in the 4f–4f transitions with those of the corresponding Cr–Ln complexes, [(acac)2Cr(ox)Ln(HBpz3)2] suggests that the 4f–4f CD intensities arise from configurational chirality, probably due to the skew bent B⋯Ln⋯Ln⋯B disposition.Keywords
