Abstract
Complex formation of 4,6-dimethyl-2-(1H)-pyrimidinone (thione) with dysprosium(III) tris(acetylacetonate), Dy(acac)3, in 80% (v/v) aqueous methanol was investigated by pH-metric titration and paramagnetic birefringence. Due to its higher basicity and lower acidity, 4,6-dimethyl-2-(1H)-pyrimidinone is coordinated by Dy(acac)3 without deprotonation, whereas its thio analog is coordinated in the deprotonated form. Due to the higher acidity of 4,6-dimethyl-2-(1H)-pyrimidinethione, the complex of its anion with Dy(acac)3 is much more stable than that derived from the oxo analog, as inferred from the comparison of the stability constants.
