C. Tedeschi et al., First crystal structure of a Tb3+ complex derived from an aromatic hydroxamate ligand: sensitized luminescence properties, NEW J CHEM, 24(10), 2000, pp. 735-737
The neutral terbium complex [Tb(op)(3)]. 3H(2)O derived from the 1-hydroxy-
2(1H)-pyridinone ligand displays a good luminescent quantum yield (Phi=0.41
in MeOD solution), due to an efficient energy transfer through the hydroxa
mate linkage. The coordination properties of the hydroxamate functionality
were established by X-ray analysis.
