Vl. Ermolaev et Eb. Sveshnikova, APPLICATION OF LUMINESCENT KINETIC METHOD S TO INVESTIGATION OF LANTHANIDE IONS COMPLEXATION IN SOLUTIONS, Uspehi himii, 63(11), 1994, pp. 962-980
The mechanisms of nonradiative transitions in trivalent lanthanide ion
s in solutions are discussed. This phenomenon is shown to be applicabl
e for investigation of structure and stability constants of Ln3+ compl
exes. It is shown that the stability constants may be determined and l
abile bridge binuclear complexes of Ln3+ ions may be detected using en
ergy transfer between rare earth ions. The spectral-luminescent method
s of fast ligand exchange rates determination in solutions of lanthani
de complexes are considered.
