General description

N-Butyldiethanolamine (N-n-butyldiethanolamine) is a tertiary amine. It acts as an N-substituted diethanolamine ligand. It reacts with chromium(II) and lanthanide(III)/rare earth salts (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Y) in the presence of coligands to afford three series of isostructural 1:1 3d(Cr(III))/4f(Ln(III)) coordination cluster compounds.

Application

N-Butyldiethanolamine (H2bdea, N-n-butyldiethanolamine) has been used in the synthesis of the following complexes (Hdnba = 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, Hpta = p-toluic acid, H2tpa = terephthalic acid):
  • new mononuclear [Cu(Hbdea)2]·2Hdnba , dinuclear [Cu2(μ-Hbdea)2(N3)2] and [Cu2(μ-Hbdea)2(pta)2]·2H2O
  • 1D polymeric [Cu2(μ-Hbdea)2(μ-tpa)]n·2nH2O copper(II) compounds
  • tetranuclear 3d-4f single-molecule magnet (SMM) complexes
