Me. Mesquita et al., SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF A NEW EUROPIUM(III) COMPLEX OF 3-AMINO-2-CARBOXYPYRIDINE-N-OXIDE, Journal of alloys and compounds, 277, 1998, pp. 844-847
The new ligand, 3-amino-2-carboxypyridine-N-oxide 4 has been synthesiz
ed as a potential precursor to highly efficient light conversion molec
ular devices. The synthesis, characterization and some properties of a
complex of this ligand, tris(3-aminopyridine-2-carboxylato-N-oxide)tr
iaqua europium(III), are described. The complex exhibits a remarkably
strong luminescence and a long decay lifetime (615 mu s) (C) 1998 Else
