Synthesis and photoluminescence of manganese(ii) naphtylphosphonic diamide complexes†
Abstract
Manganese(II) halide complexes with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-P-naphtalen-2-ylphosphonic diamide were synthesized from anhydrous MnX2 salts (X = Cl, Br, I) and characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed in all the cases slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry of the coordination sphere. The photoluminescence spectra showed the superimposition of a green emission, related to the 4T1(4G) → 6A1(6S) transition of Mn(II), with a band in the red range. Different possible attributions to the lowest-energy emission were taken into account. The emission spectra of the isolated products are dependent upon the nature of the halide and, in the case of X = Br, also upon the excitation wavelength.
