Water enhances quantum yield and lifetime of luminescence of europium(III) tris-b-diketonates in concentrated toluene and acetonitrile solutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Europium tris-b-diketonates (Eu(L)3 nH2O) show concentration quenching of luminescence in toluene solutions due to the formation of weakly luminescent dimers. Addition of water to the concentrated toluene solutions of Eu(L)3 nH2O unexpectedly enhances quantum yield ðfÞ and lifetime of Eu 3+ luminescence by causing dissociation of dimers and by reducing quenching of excited Eu through the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT). Water also enhances f of Eu(L)3 nH2O in acetonitrile (although to a lower extent than in toluene) only by reducing LMCT quenching of Eu. # 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Two new tridentate(NNO)-bidentate(NN) compartmental ligands, HL(5) and HL(6), are synthesized from pyridine and benzimidazole synthons. They react in aqueous solution under physiological conditions with Zn(II), Ln(III), or a mixture thereof, to yield complexes of different stoichiometries, 1:3, 2:2, 2:3, 1:1:3, the speciation of which is established by UV-visible titrations and ESI mass spectro...
متن کاملNew polyaminocarboxylate macrocycles containing phenolate binding units: synthesis, luminescent and relaxometric properties of their lanthanide complexes.
The synthesis of two new polyaminocarboxylate macrocycles incorporating one or two intracyclic phenol units (H4L1 and H8L2, respectively) is described. The 12-membered H4L1 macrocycle leads to soluble and stable mononuclear LnIII complexes of [(L1)Ln(H2O)2]- composition (Ln = Eu, Tb and Gd) in aqueous solutions. In Tris buffer (pH 7.4), the [(L1)Tb(H2O)2]- complex displays a suitable efficiency...
