“…The dianionic species GL 2– and DG 2– are well known as bidentate and tridentate ligands, respectively, , which can then form ring structures with Ce 3+ , i.e., chelate-ring structures. The ether oxygen of DG 2– was already discovered to have a strong stabilizing effect in chelate rings. , In fact, DG 2– forms complexes with various metallic cations such as Eu(III), Co(II), Cu(II), Ca(II), and Ba(II), with the ether oxygen stabilizing the chelate structure. This property of DGA has been exploited to remove rare-metal ions from an aqueous solution via the interactions of polymer-functionalized DGA with Ce 3+ and Nd 3+ .…”

Interactions between hydrated Ce 3+ and various carboxylates are of fundamental interest. Anomalously strong interactions with Ce 3+ occur when diglycolic acid (DGA) is added into a Ce 3+ aqueous solution, unlike various other carboxylic acids. Herein, the complex-formation constants of Ce 3+ with these acids are evaluated via absorption and emission spectra. Hydrated Ce 3+ emits fluorescence with unity quantum yield; however, addition of various carboxylates statically quenches the fluorescence when Ce 3+ −carboxylate complexes form because the fluorescence lifetime is constant irrespective of the carboxylate concentration. In the observed static quenching, the complex-formation constants obtained from the absorption and emission spectra (K abs and K em ) agree well. The binding of Ce 3+ by the conjugate Lewis bases, i.e., carboxylates, is approximately inversely proportional to the pH. Adding DGA into the system also statically quenches the fluorescence, but far more efficiently, even in a much weaker solution. We rigorously deduce K abs and K em of Ce 3+ with DGA without any approximation using comparable concentrations. Careful fittings provide equivalent K em and K abs values, and by varying the pH and ionic strength, we confirm that this equivalence is an inherent property of the Ce 3+ −DGA system. The Lewis acid−base theory cannot explain why DGA binds to Ce 3+ ∼1000 times more strongly than the other carboxylates. This anomalously strong binding may be due to a chelate effect caused by the DGA's central oxygen atom, which forms a five-membered ring with the conjugate Lewis bases of DGA; double chelate rings can also form, while bis-deprotonated DGA binds to Ce 3+ , facilitated by the central oxygen. Therefore, DGA enables efficient quenching through the chelate effect when it binds to Ce 3+ .
