The photoacoustic spectra(PAS) of the coprecipitates Tb3+-Gd3+-Sal com
plexes are reported. With the increase of the concentration of Gd3+ io
n, the PA intensity of complexes decrease firstly, then increase. It i
s indicated that the addition of the second rare earth ion Gd3+ change
s the relaxation processes of the complexes. The changes of the fluore
scence spectra turn out complementary to the PAS. The intramolecular e
nergy transfer and the intermolecular energy transfer processes in cop
recipitates are discussed.
