Subsequently, three novel lanthanide (Eu(3+), Tb(3+), and Dy(3+)) complexes with the long chain monodocosyl phthalate were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and Infrared spectra. The photophysical properties of these complexes were studied in detail with ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra, low temperature phosphorescence spectra and fluorescent spectra. The triplet state energy of 22-Phth was determined to be around 25,000 cm(-1) from the maximum phosphorescent peak at 400 nm, suggesting 22-Phth is suitable for the sensitization of the luminescence of Eu(3+), Tb(3+), and Dy(3+). The fluorescence excitation and emission spectra for these lanthanide complexes of the three ligands take agreement with the above predict from energy match principle. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
