Description
Summary:Lanthanides 2-aminoterephthalate compounds were synthetized and characterized on the basis of TG–DTA data in order to study their thermal behavior, as well as to establish hydration grade and stoichiometry, while TG/FTIR system identified the gaseous products evolved during the thermal decomposition of these compounds in each step of the TG curve, in which water and carbon dioxide were the main products with a small amount of carbon monoxide and ammonia. Through the FT-IR spectroscopic data of the compounds in the solid state, information concerning the coordination mode of the carboxylate groups to the metal was provided, and by analysis of fluorescence, with excitation at 405 nm, the respective electronic transitions supported by the data reported in the literature were identified. In addition, the excitation was made for the ligand salt and acid with the aim of understanding the contribution of the ligand in the emission of the compounds. In summary, the ligand influenced on the fluorescence of lanthanide ions, being more intense for the compounds of La, Ce, Pr, and Nd, making this material interesting for optical and photonic applications.
