Structure of [Dy(Phen)(C4H8NCS2)3]·3CH2Cl2 solvate. Magnetic properties and photoluminiscence of [Ln(Phen)(C4H8NCS2)3] (Ln = Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Tm) complexes

It is found that diffraction patterns of complexes I–V of the composition [Ln(Phen)(C4H8NCS2)3] (Ln = Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, and Tm respectively) are similar. Single crystals of [Dy(Phen)(C4H8NCS2)3]·3CH2Cl2 (VI) obtained are. According to the X-ray crystallographic data, in the structure of VI the unit cell contains two crystallographically independent molecules of the [Dy(Phen)(C4H8NCS2)3] complex and six CH2Cl2 molecules. The N2S6 coordination polyhedron of the Dy atom is a distorted square antiprism. In the range of 2–300 K the magnetic properties of complexes I–V are studied. It is found that complex III passes to the magnetically ordered state; the spontaneous magnetization at 2 K is 24 600 G·cm3/mol. At 300 K compounds I–IV exhibit photoluminescence in the visible spectral range. It is found that the photoluminescence intensity of complex I is several times higher than the photoluminescence intensity of complexes II–IV.
