Abstract
Excited-state properties of four series of dioxouranium(VI)(uranyl)β-diketonato complexes UO2(L–L)2thf, UO2(L–L)2 dmso [L–L = acac (acetylacetonate), tfacac (trifluoroacetylacetonate), hfacac (hexafluoroacetylacetonate), btfa (benzoyltrifluoroacetylacetonate), ba (benzoylacetylacetonate), dbm (dibenzoylmethanide) and tta (tenoyltrifluoroacetylacetonate); thf = tetrahydrofuran, dmso = dimethyl sulfoxide], UO2(acac)2 L and UO2L5(CIO4)2[L = dmso, dma (N,N-dimethylacetamide), hmpa (hexamethylphosphoric triamide), dmf (N,N-dimethylformamide) and tmp (trimethyl phosphate)] have been studied at 296 and 77 K. The lifetimes of the excited states of UO2(L–L)2 thf were first measured at ambient temperatures in the liquid solvent and range from 0. 90 ns for L–L = acac and ba, to 484 ns for L–L = hfacac, Good correlations between Eo,o(0′–0″ band energies in the first electronic transition) and the lifetimes of the excited states, and also between Eo,o and ν3(asymmetric vibration) of UO in uranyl ion, were obtained. The energy gap law accounts for Eo,o being the major perturbing factor of the lifetimes.Keywords
