Eu (tfc) 3 (formerly Eu (facam) 3 ) is an enantiomerically pure organic compound of europium , which appears as a yellow-orange powder.
use
Eu (tfc) 3 is mainly used in NMR spectroscopy . Since it is enantiomerically pure itself , it can form diastereomeric aggregates with other substances. Thus , enantiomeric ratios can be clarified in NMR, indirectly via the diastereomeric ratio . It can also be used to determine the absolute configuration of alcohols .
Structure and properties
Both enantiomers of Eu (tfc) 3 exist , which are derived from (+) - or (-) - camphor. However, many studies only examine the (+) - enantiomer. There are many reasons for using (+) - camphor. The enantiomerically pure compound is characterized by high availability, crystallinity and a large number of possible transformations that allow chiral ligands to be produced.
Eu (tfc) 3 is structurally closely related to Eu (hfc) 3 and only differs in the length of the perfluorinated residue on the camphor skeleton. The shorter chain in the tfc ligand leads to a poorer splitting of the signals in NMR spectra. It is soluble in chloroform but insoluble in water. Like most lanthanoid shift reagents, the compound is hygroscopic.
safety instructions
Strong oxidizing agents can cause strong reactions with Eu (tfc) 3 . Hydrogen fluoride , carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide and europium oxides are the decomposition products of the compound.
