Abstract:
Hexadentate ligand L and its Ln(3+) complexes EuLCl3 (1), TbLCl3 (2), SmLCl3 (3) are synthesised. All these complexes are well characterized for their photophysical properties such as luminescence lifetime decay(τ) and overall quantum yield(Φ). These complexes being water soluble, depicts their intense metal centred luminescence. Effect of pH on these complexes suggest that their emission intensities are stable in the pH range 4-9 and show their compatibility to function in the physiological pH. Graphical Abstract Normalized emisson spectra of complex 1, 2 and 3 (1x10(-5)M) in HEPES Buffer at pH 7.4 (λexc=276nm).

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...

To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
