J. Erostyak et al., TIME-RESOLVED STUDY OF INTRAMOLECULAR ENERGY-TRANSFER IN EU3+, TB3+ BETA-DIKETONE/O-PHENANTHROLINE COMPLEXES IN AQUEOUS MICELLAR SOLUTIONS/, Journal of luminescence, 72-4, 1997, pp. 570-571
We found that by adding Phen to the Eu3+/TTA complexes. the luminescen
ce intensity of Eu3+ can be increased very much. The Phen is bounded t
o the complexes and can be found not only in the first coordination sp
here. It is an efficient shield against the quenching processes and op
ens a new IMET channel towards the Eu3+. Concerning the ligands, only
the S-1 excited state plays a role in the IMET.
