摘要
Reasonable ligand design to selective introduction of metal ions in the multidentate ligand pockets can be achieved to furnish 3d-4f heterometalhc that would be of great use in luminescent and catalysis application~([1-2]).Three 3d-4f heterometalhc helicates was successfully constructed via a self-assembly reaction involving the asymmetric salen ligand and Zn~Ⅱ,Ln~Ⅲ(Tb,Er,Yb) ions.These helicates not only display strong characteristic Ln-centered emission in the visible and NIR regions,which suggests that Ln~Ⅲ-based luminescence is sensitized by the effective energy transfer from the ligand to the metals,but also show excellent catalytic activity toward the cycloaddition of carbon dioxide to epoxides to produce cyclic carbonates,with an initial turnover frequency as high as 1,100 per mole of catalyst per hour and wide substrate scopes.The catalytic activity of the 3d-4f helicates is superior to its pure transition metal or lanthanide complex and efficient suitable for internal epoxides,which verified that heterometalhc cooperativity is a promising means to improve catalyst reactivity and selectivity.Moreover,the catalyst could be reused more than 3 times without a significant decrease both in catalytic performance and lanthanide luminescence,implying that the 3d-4f helicates structure is relatively robust.
