Theoretical Study of Metal−Ligand Interaction in Sm(III), Eu(III), and Tb(III) Complexes of Coumarin-3-Carboxylic Acid in the Gas Phase and Solution
journal contribution
posted on 2007-12-10, 00:00 authored by Ivelina Georgieva, Natasha Trendafilova, Adélia J. A. Aquino, Hans LischkaThe interaction of lanthanide(III) cations (Ln(III) = Sm(III), Eu(III), and Tb(III)) with the deprotonated form of the
coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (cca-) has been investigated by density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) and confirmed
by reference MP2 and CCSD(T) computations. Solvent effects on the geometries and stabilities of the Ln(III)
complexes were computed using a combination of water clusters and a continuum solvation model. The following
two series of systems were considered: (i) Ln(cca)2+, Ln(cca)2+, Ln(cca)3 and (ii) Ln(cca)(H2O)2Cl2, Ln(cca)2(H2O)2Cl, Ln(cca)3. The strength and character of the Ln(III)−cca- bidentate bonding were characterized by calculated
Ln−O bond lengths, binding energies, ligand deformation energies, energy partitioning analysis, σ-donation
contributions, and natural population analyses. The energy decomposition calculations predicted predominant
electrostatic interaction terms to the Ln−cca bonding (ionic character) and showed variations of the orbital interaction
term (covalent contributions) for the Ln−cca complexes studied. Electron distribution analysis suggested that the
covalent contribution comes mainly from the interaction with the carboxylate moiety of cca-.
