J. Legendziewicz et al., CHIRALITY EFFECT ON SPECTROSCOPY OF DIMERIC LANTHANIDE SINGLE-CRYSTALS, Journal of alloys and compounds, 225(1-2), 1995, pp. 372-376
Two series of Pr and Eu dimeric single crystals with L- and DL-isoleuc
ine were obtained. The effect of the ligand chirality on the structure
of the dimeric units was investigated. Well-resolved absorption, exci
tation and luminescence measurements on single crystals of these compo
unds as well as diluted systems down to 5 K are reported and analysed.
Cooperative interaction is considered and vibronic lines are assigned
based on vibrational analysis. The nature of the cooperative interact
ion in the praseodymium single crystals is briefly discussed.
