Abstract:
Based on the mixed phthalate (phth2-) and adipate (ad2-), [Nd2(ad)(phth)2(H2O)4] (I) and [Ln(ad)0.5(phth)(H2O)2] (Ln = EuIII (II), GdIII (III), TbIII (IV), DyIII (V), ErIII (VI), TmIII (VII), 1EuIII:10TbIII (VIII), 3EuIII:10TbIII (IX), and 5EuIII:10TbIII (X)) were synthesized and characterized. Complexes VIII-X show excellent ratiometric temperature sensing behavior in physiological and higher temperature ranges (303-423 K) rendered by the TbIII-to-EuIII energy transfer process. The efficiency of the process as illustrated through the lifetime measurements depends on both the EuIII:TbIII mole ratio and the temperature. The performance of X in terms of relative sensitivity ( Sr), temperature resolution, and measurement repeatability were determined, revealing the maximum Sr ( Sm) of 1.21%·K-1 at 303 K with reliable temperature resolution and excellent repeatability.

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
