Résumé
The binding of lanthanide(III) cations with organophosphorous ligands like CMPO and related calix[4]arene-based derivatives have been investigated using two experimental methods. The stability constants of the lanthanum, europium and ytterbium complexes were first determined in methanol by UV absorption spectrophotometry in the presence of nitrate or chloride anions. The results showed that the stoichiometry and the stability of the complexes formed depend on the position of the CMPO moieties either on the wide or the narrow rim of the calixarene scaffold, the nature of the medium, the conformational mobility of the ligands. Complexation of lanthanum was also followed by ESI-mass spectrometry in the same solvent. This method confirmed the stoichiometry of the complexes, giving also structural information, like coordination of anion or solvent molecules to the complexes, and allowed the calculation of distribution curves in good agreement with those derived from the spectrophotometric results. This is an important result showing that ESI-MS can be used to provide with quantitative information when absorption spectrophotometry is not applicable, i.e. for systems where complexation leads to weak spectral changes.
