J. Coates et al., ENHANCEMENT OF LUMINESCENCE OF EUROPIUM(III) IONS IN WATER BY USE OF SYNERGISTIC CHELATION .2. 1 1/1 COMPLEXES/, Perkin transactions. 2, (7), 1996, pp. 1283-1287
The design and choice of shielding ligands that enhance the sensitized
luminescence of eurpium(III) ions in aqueous solution is reported. Th
e cooperation of the shielding and sensitizing ligands allows for the
development of novel homogeneous assay systems.
