Abstract

Luminescence properties of Tb3+ - or Eu3+-polycarboxylate complexes in aqueous solution were investigated. The excitation bands near 300 nm for terbium- or europium-polyacrylate solutions were drastically enhanced by the addition of hydroxyl-radical generating reagents as well as ultrasonic irradiation. These spectral changes were attributed to the energy transfer from chromophore molecules formed by the hydroxyl radicals generated in both systems.
