Q

how can the ground state term symbol be determines

A

21
Q

how does the antenna effect work

A

singlet state of ligand is excited
intersystem crossing to triplet state
energy tranfer to Ln ion
emmission

22
Q

what must be true about the ligand triplet state in the antenna effect

A

must have higher energy than Ln

23
Q

what are the 4 un productive pathways in the antenna effect

A

fluorescence of ligand singlet state
phosphorescence of ligand triplet state
back transfer from Ln to ligand
non radiative deexcitation

24
Q

give examples of good ligands for the antenna effect

A

beta-diketonates
polypyridines
delocalised pi systems

25
Q

give an example of betaketonate antenna ligand

A

dbm diphenyl-betaketonate

26
Q

what is dbm not a good antenna ligand doe Tb3+

A

triplet state too low in energy

27
Q

what effect does coordinated water have on luminescence

A

non-radiative deexcitation

28
Q

how does the amount of quenching of luminescene change if D2O is used instead of water

A

decreases

29
Q

how can the number of complexed waters to Eu be calculated

A

more h2o = less luminescence
can plot difference between h2o and d2o
effect increases with more waters

30
Q

give 2 examples of applications of Ln luminescence

A

euro note - Eu(Bketonate)

Neodinium laser

31
Q

what property does a neodinium laser need to work

A

needs higher population in emissive state than ground sate

32
Q

how does a neodinium laser work

A

excited with red light to excited state
non radiative decay to metastable state
intense decay to terminal state
non radiative decay to ground state

33
Q

how can Eu2+ luminescence be tuned

A

depending on ligands bound
4f6d1 config
CF split changes energy of d1

34
Q

why is orbital angular momentum not quenched

A

f electrons are degenerate - no CF split
electrons can move between orbitals
creates current and electric field

35
Q

what formula is used to calculated the magentic moment

A

free ion formula

36
Q

what is the free ion formula

A

ueff=gJ = root(J(J+1)

37
Q

how well go observed moments match calculated moments

A

well apart from for Sm3+ and Eu3+

38
Q

why do calculated moments not match well of Sm3+ and Eu3+

A

have low lying excited states which are easily populated at RT

39
Q

how does magnetic refrigeration work

A

without a magentic field moments are unaligned

when a field is applied the align - decrease in entropy and increase in T. when field is removed it will cool

40
Q

what is the effect of paramagnetism on NMR spectra

A

nuclei experience magnetic field from paramagnet and NMR magnet
gives very different spectrum

41
Q

when does paramagnetic shifting occur

A

when complex has low symmetry (anisotropic magnetic susceptability)
pseudo contact shifting

42
Q

what are NMR peaks for Gd3+ and Eu2+ like and why

A

broad but unshifted

very spherical

43
Q

what are chiral lanthanoid reagents used for

A

to determine the enantiomeric excess of mixtures of chiral compounds

44
Q

how do chiral lanthanoid reagents work

A

chiral Bketonate ligands form adducts with lewis bases - forms diastereoisomers with different NMR spectra and potentially different pseudocontact shifting

45
Q

how does MRI work

A

body is 60 water
image is built up of NMR of H2O resonances
short relaxation time shows brightly
contrast can be enhanced by a contrast agent

46
Q

what are the requirements for a contrast agent

A

must effect relaxation time but not chemical shift
must be soluble and kinetically inert at body pH
low osmotic effect (ion pair = 2)
must under go rapid exchange of coordinated H2O with bulk

47
Q

what Ln makes a good contast agent

A

Gd3+

48
Q

what is the formula for relaxivity

A

^(1/T)/[contrast agent]

49
Q

how is relaxation cause

A

local field oscillating at Wo (larmor freq)

50
Q

what are the factors effecting relaxivity

A
rate of exchange of coordinated H2O
No. coordinated h2o
distance between H2o and Gd3+
dependence on external field
rate of molecular tumbling
51
Q

which Gd3+ ligands have low osmotic value and why

A

ligands with 3- charge - no counterions needed
