Dj. Qian et al., ENERGY-TRANSFER BETWEEN EUROPIUM COMPLEXES AND A PORPHYRIN DERIVATIVEIN MONOLAYER ASSEMBLIES, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 294, 1997, pp. 213-216
Monolayers of europium complexes and a porphyrin derivative (TSPP) wer
e investigated and their LB films were transferred onto hydrophobic su
bstrates with given patterns. The emission from Eu complexes is quench
ed to about 30% of the original intensity when they are alternatively
deposited by one layer of TSPP, suggesting an energy transfer from Eu
complexes to TSPP. The critical transfer distance for Eu complexes and
TSPP is about 75 Angstrom.
