Abstract:
RE(ClO4)3 x L5 x C2H5OH(RE=Gd, Tb, Dy, Tm, Yb; L = C6H5COCH2SOCH3) complexes were synthesized. The composion of the complexes was determined by elemental analysis, coordination titration, molar conductivities, and TGA studies. The ligand and coordination compounds were studied by means of IR spectra, 1H NMR, and the Tb(II) coordination compound was studied by means of phosphorescence spectra, and fluorescence excitation and emission spectra. Each energy level of Tb3+ was calculated according to the fluorescent emission spectra results.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
