Title: Facile formation of luminescent terbium(III) aryloxide complexes directly from terbium metal including the X-ray crystal structures of Tb(OC6H3Me2-2,6)3(THF)3 and Tb(OC6H3iPr2-2,6)3(THF)2
Abstract: Abstract Direct reaction of terbium metal in refluxing isopropanol and phenols provides the luminescent terbium aryloxide species Tb(OC6H3Me2-2,6)3(THF)3 (1) and Tb(OC6H3iPr2-2,6)3(THF)2 (2) in good yield. Crystallographic studies showed 1 to be fac-octahedral and 2 to be trigonal bipyramidal with the THF molecules in the axial positions.
