Kz. Wang et al., EFFICIENT ENERGY-TRANSFER IN THE LANGMUIR-BLODGETT-FILMS OF A STRONGLY LUMINESCENT D-F ION-PAIR COMPLEX, Solid state communications, 107(5), 1998, pp. 249-252
A surfactant d-f ion-pair complex, [Ru(bpy)(2)L] {Eu(NTA)(4)}(2) (bpy
= 2,2'bipyridine, L = N-(4'-hexadecylphenyl)pyridine-2-carbaldimine, N
TA = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-napthyl)-1,3-butanedionato), was designed an
d synthesized for Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. The LB films were stud
ied by surface pressure-area (pi-A) isotherm behavior, UV-visible, inf
rared and emission spectroscopy. Efficient energy transfer from the Eu
complex anion to the Ru complex cation occurred in the films. (C) 199
