Abstract:
The complexes Tb(L(1))(3).2H(2)O (I) {where L(1)=2'-hydroxy-4'-methoxy-2-phenylacetophenone}, Tb(L(2))(3).2H(2)O (II) {where L(2)=2'-hydroxy-4'-methoxy-2-(p-methoxyphenyl)acetophenone}, Tb(L(3))(3).2H(2)O (III) {where L(3)=2'-hydroxy-4',6'-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone} and Tb(L(4))(3).2H(2)O (III) {where L(4)=2'-hydroxy-4',6'-dimethoxy-2-(p-methoxyphenyl)acetophenone} were synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, TGA/DTA and elemental analysis. The qualitative analysis of the complexes to detect the presence of terbium has been performed by energy dispersive analysis (EDAX). The synthesized complexes on exposure to UV light (354 nm) emit green luminescent with main peak at 546 nm. The complexes emitting bright green colour might be promisingly applicable for optical devices and solid-state lamps for general illumination purposes.

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.
