Ve. Karasev et al., Influence of the nature of complexing ion on the thermoluminescent properties of the RE coordination compounds, RUSS J C CH, 25(11), 1999, pp. 816-818
Coordination compounds [Tb(x)Ln(1-x)(Phen)(2)Acac(NO3)(2)] . H2O (Ln = Eu,
La, Gd, Pr, Ce, or Dy; Acac = acetylacetonate ion; and Phen = 1,10-phenanth
roline) were synthesized and studied by IR and emission spectroscopies. The
compounds exhibit thermoluminescent properties. The introduction of coacti
vator ions reduces thermoluminescence intensity of Tb3+. The ions with vari
able valency suppress thermoluminescence to the greatest extent.
