Rq. Xie et Cd. Flint, DECAY KINETICS FROM I-4(9 2) STATE OF MIXED 2,6 PYRIDINE DICARBOXYLATE-ACETYLACETONATE COMPLEXES/, Acta Physica Polonica. A, 90(2), 1996, pp. 323-325
Tile I-4(9/2) --> I-4(15/2) luminescence decay curves for a series of
complexes Er(pdc)(n)(acac)(3-n) (pdc = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate, aca
c = acetylacetonate, n = 0, 1, 2, 3) as solids and ill dilute aqueous
solutions have been investigated. Tile decays are multiexponential, po
ssible reasons for this and for tile short lifetimes observed are disc
ussed.
