Excited State Behavior of Uranyl Complexes with Salophen and Oxine as Chromophoric Ligands

چکیده
The electronic spectra and the photochemistry of the uranyl complexes UO2 (salophen) and UO2 (oxinate)2 with H2salophen = N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-o-phenylenediamine and oxine = 8hydroxyquinoline were studied. The excited state behavior of both complexes is determined by a low-energy salophen / oxinateÿ to U(VI) ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) state which is not luminescent but can be reactive. In the case of UO2 (oxinate)2 the photolysis leads to the formation of free oxine with ÿ = 3.6 ÿ 10 at þirr = 366 nm in CHCl3. It is suggested that various redox processes with the participation of the solvent are involved in product formation. UO2 (salophen) is not light sensitive since the primary electron transfer is followed by recombination which is facilitated by the rigid UO2 (salophen) structure.

متن کاملX-Ray crystallographic and computational study on uranyl-salophen complexes bearing nitro groups.
In the solid state, salophen-UO2 complexes bearing one, two, or three NO2 groups lack the pronounced ligand curvature that represents a structural hallmark for this class of compounds. A detailed structural study based on single-crystal X-ray crystallography and computational methods, comprising molecular dynamics, gas-phase Hartree Fock, and DFT calculations, was carried out to investigate the...
متن کاملUnprecedented detection of inherent chirality in uranyl-salophen complexes.
In complexes with the uranyl dication salophen ligands are highly puckered. This implies that non-symmetrically substituted uranyl-salophen derivatives exist in principle as a pair of enantiomers. However, due to easy disrotations about the bonds connecting the phenoxide units to the imine carbons, the rate of interconversion between enantiomeric forms of simple, sterically unhindered compounds...

In this research, some of the inorganic complexes of uranyl with N- donor ligandswere synthesized. Complexes were characteriezed by FT-IR and UV spectra, ¹HNMR,¹³CNMR and some physical properties. The uranyl unit (UO2) is composed of a center ofuranium atom with the charge (+6) and two oxygen atom by forming two U=O double bonds.The structure is linear (O=U=O, 180) and usually stable. So other ...
