Abstract

The three main methods available in the literature for lanthanide-induced shift (LIS) structural analysis of a series of lanthanide(III) complexes in solution are applied to the data available for a complete series of paramagnetic lanthanide cryptate complexes of a Schiff base axial macrobicyclic ligand L, [LnL]3+. The macrobicycle contracts its cavity as a result of the lanthanide contraction, while preserving the same overall structure in solution. This causes breaks in the LIS plots for all the three methods used. A combined analysis of the data allows to conclude that those breaks reflect abrupt changes of the crystal field parameter A20〈r2〉 and the hyperfine constants Fi of the lanthanides in the middle of the series, but not of the structure of the complex in solution.
