Abstract: The reaction of terbium and europium salts with the lacunary polyxometalate (POM) [As(2)W(19)O(67)(H(2)O)](14-) and 2-picolinic acid (picH) affords the ternary lanthanoid-organic-polyoxometalate (Ln-org-POM) complexes [Tb(2)(pic)(H(2)O)(2)(B-β-AsW(8)O(30))(2)(WO(2)(pic))(3)](10-) (1), [Tb(8)(pic)(6)(H(2)O)(22)(B-β-AsW(8)O(30))(4)(WO(2)(pic))(6)](12-) (2), and [Eu(8)(pic)(6)(H(2)O)(22)(B-β-AsW(8)O(30))(4)(WO(2)(pic))(6)](12-) (3). A detailed synthetic investigation has established the conditions required to isolate pure bulk s les of the three complexes as the mixed salts H(0.5)K(8.5)Na[1]·30H(2)O, K(4)Li(4)H(4)[2]·58H(2)O, and Eu(1.66)K(7)[3]·54H(2)O, each of which has been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 2 and 3 are isostructural and can be considered to be composed of two molecules of 1 linked through an inversion center with four additional picolinate-chelated lanthanoid centers. When irradiated with a laboratory UV l at room temperature, compounds K(4)Li(4)H(4)[2]·58H(2)O and Eu(1.66)K(7)[3]·54H(2)O visibly luminesce green and red, respectively, while compound H(0.5)K(8.5)Na[1]·30H(2)O is not luminescent. A variable temperature photophysical investigation of the three compounds has revealed that both the organic picolinate ligands and the inorganic POM ligands sensitize the lanthanoid(III) luminescence, following excitation with UV light. However, considerably different temperature dependencies are observed for Tb(III) versus Eu(III) through the two distinct sensitization pathways.
