RESUMO

In the work, the complex Ce(hdacac)6·xH2O (x0-2) was synthesized in order to produce an additive capable of reducing soot, that is emitted from the combustion of diesel, biodiesel and its mixtures in compression engines. The complexes were produced from a new ligand, 3-hexadecylpentane-2,4-dione (hdacac), that has a long alkyl chain and two carbonyl groups in the position, thus allowing the complexation of cerium and its dissolution in hydrophobic environments. With the aim to evaluate the structural properties of Ce(hdacac)6·xH2O, as well as its behavior in solution, complexes with the Eu3+ ion (that has particular luminescent properties) were synthesized. The ligand and its complexes were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, complexometric titration, thermogravimetry, elementary analysis, and infrared and luminescence spectroscopies. The miscibility of the complexes and the influence of Ce(hdacac)6·xH2O on soot combustion were studied. Subsequently, Ce(hdacac)6·xH2O was added to the new fuels and its soot reducing capacity attested in a generating group by comparison of the diffuse reflectance of filters exposed to the emitted effluents. Moreover, LB films with Eu(hdacac)n .xH2O were produced and, by knowing the efficiency of hdacac in the homogenization of Eu3+ over the investigated surface, one can predict the possibility of future studies on the production of inorganic substrates having CeO2 sites.
