Ve. Karasev et al., Effect of gamma-substitution on the thermoluminescence properties of terbium(III) acetylacetonate complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline, RUSS CHEM B, 49(2), 2000, pp. 291-294
The coordination compounds [Tb(NO3)(2)acac(phen)(2)]H2O (where acac is acet
ylacetone or its derivatives substituted in the gamma-position) were synthe
sized and studied by luminescence, IR, and UV spectroscopy. Thermoluminesce
nce of the complexes containing acetylacetonate, 3-phenylthio-2,4-pentadion
ate, and 3-(p-methoxyphenylthio)-2,4-pentadionate was found. The structural
and electronic aspects of the crystal thermoluminescence were discussed.
