The fluorescence intensity of Tbb!-TPA system can be greatly increased by La3+. The intermolecular transfer of energy was responsible for the mechanism of the fluorescence enhancement. Triton X-100 plays an important role for the stabilization of the system. The system, having the maximum excitation and emission wavelengths at 256 nm and 546 nm, respectively, shows a constant fluorescence intensity over the pH range between 4-6. The fluorescence intensity is a linear function of Tb3+concentration in the range of 1.00 ?展开更多

In the sulfurization of Tb_4O_7 powder, Tb_2O_3 and Tb_2O_2S were formed in the initial stage of reaction, and α-Tb_2S_3 was finally formed at higher temperature. For long sulfurization time of 8 h, single-phase α-Tb_2S_3 could be synthesized at 1323 K. In the sulfurization of Ho_2O_3 powder using CS_2 gas, only Ho_2O_2S was formed as an intermediate product. At a sulfurization temperature above 873 K, Ho_2O_2S was formed in the initial stage of reaction, and single-phase δ-Ho_2S_3 was formed at 1323 K for 8 h instead of Ho_2O_2S. Furthermore, the influence of the addition of carbon black to the sulfurization of Ho_2O_3 powder using CS_2 gas was investigated, and the result implied that the reactions were accelerated slightly by the addition of carbon black.展开更多

The crystal consists of binuclear molecules of the title compound. Each Tb3+ ion is nine-coordinated to one 1,10-phenan- throline molecule, one bidentate carboxylate group and four bridging carboxylate groups. The carboxylate groups are bonded to the terbium ion in three modes: the chelating bidentate, bridging bidentate and bridging-chelating tridentates. Excitation and luminescence data observed at room temperature show that the title complex emits very intensive green fluorescence under ultraviolet light. The results of thermal analysis indicate that the complex [Tb(ba)3phen]2 is very thermal stable.展开更多

The fluorescence inten...The fluorescence of terbium (Ⅲ) was enhanced by about three orders of magnitude in the presence of trimellitic acid (benzene-1, 2, 4-tricarboxylic acid (TLA)) in aqueous solution at pH 6. The fluorescence intensity could be greatly increased when the system of Tb^3+-TLA was treated with La^3+ (or Gd^3+) and TritonX- 100. The addition of La^3+ (or Gd^3+) enhanees the fluorescence of the system by about two orders of magnitude due to cofluorescenee, and the TritonX-100 micellar medium plays an important role for stabilization of the system. Both the intermolecular energy transfer mode and intramolecular energy transfer mode are responsible for the mechanism of fluorescence enhancement. In the optimum condi- tions, the fluorescence intensity is a linear function of Tb3~ concentration in the range of 7.8 × 10^-9-3.6 × 10^4 mol/L for the system Tb^3+-La^3+-TLA and 1.0 × 10^-8-4.7 × 10^-5 mol/L for the system Tb^3+-Gd^3+-TLA, and the limits of detection are 4.6 × 10^-10 mol/L and 6.0 × 10^-10 mol/L, respectively.展开更多

The conditional equilibrium constants for the complexation of Tb 3+ by chicken apoovotransferrin in 0 1 mol/L hepes, at pH 7 4 and room temperature were measured. The successive macroscopic binding constants are lg K 1=9 08±0 12 and lg K 2=7 36±0 22. The molar fluorescence enhancement of Tb 3+ apoovotransferrin complex is (2 06±0 14)×10 4 mol -1 ·L. The fluorescence quenching experiment and the titration of N terminal monoferric ovotransferrin showed that Tb 3+ has a preference for being bound to the N terminal binding site of apoovotransferrin.展开更多

Tb(III)-PNVA polymer was prepared and characterized by ultraviolet-visual (UV), fourier transform infrared (FIF-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and fluorescence spectroscopy. The experimental results of UV, FT-IR and XPS show that the Tb (III)-PNVA electrovalent complex is formed by electrostatic interaction between terbium (III) cation and complexible atoms of acylamino group in the pendant chain of the polymer. The fluorescence spectrum of the complex exhibits intensive characteristic emission of terbium at 490, 545 and 584 run, which are assigned to D-5(4)->F-7(6), D-5(6)->F-5(6) and D-5(4)->F-7(3) transition, indicating that there exists an efficient intermolecular energy transfer from the polymer ligand to the central rare earth ion. The emission intensity of the complex is increased with the increasing concentration of Tb (III) ion until the weight ratio of Tb (III) on to PNVA is 1.5% (mass fraction), and decreased with the further increasing concentration of Tb (III) ion, which is a typical concentration quenching behavior.展开更多

Their elemental analysis, molar conductivities and TG-DTA studies indicate that the complexes have the composition of Eu(phen)L3·1/2H2O, Eu0.5RE0.5(phen) L3·1/2H2O; Tb (phen) L3·H2O and Tb0.5 RE0.5(Phen)L3·1/2H2O. (RE = Y3+, La3+ and Gd3+; L = biphenyl 4-carboxylic acid; phen = o-Phenanthroline). The studies of their IR, UV 1H NMR and molar conductivities demonstrate that biphenyl 4-carboylic acid is bounded with RE (III ) ion. Rare earth ions coordinate with two nitrogen atoms of phen molecules directly in these rare earth complexes. The fluorescence spectra and fluorescence lifetimes of the rare earth complexes show that the fluorescent intensity and lifetime of a series of europium complexes are longer than those of the series of terbium complexes as having the some ligands. There are better fluorescent intensity and lifetime of hetero-nuclear rare earth complexes than homo-nuclear rare earth complexes for europium complexes. The fluorescence emission intensity of Eu3 + is raised by inert fluorescent rare earth ions (Y3+ , Gd3+ and La3+ ), but in Tb3+ hetero-nuclear rare earth complexes the intensity of Tb3+ ions are quenched by the inert fluorescent rare earth ions.展开更多
A novel terbium-mercury complex [Tb(IA)3(H3 O)2]2 n(2 n HgCl4)(n Hg2 Cl5)·n H3 O· 3 n H2 O(1, HIA = isonicotinic acid) has been synthesized through hydrothermal reactions and characterized by single-crystal ...A novel terbium-mercury complex [Tb(IA)3(H3 O)2]2 n(2 n HgCl4)(n Hg2 Cl5)·n H3 O· 3 n H2 O(1, HIA = isonicotinic acid) has been synthesized through hydrothermal reactions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the C2/c space group of monoclinic system with a = 24.2347(5), b = 20.8342(6), c = 15.3206(3) ?, β = 128.257(2)°, V = 6074.3(2) ?3, C36H41Cl13Hg4N6O20Tb2, Mr = 2458.80, Z = 4, Dc = 2.689 g/cm3, μ(Mo Kα) = 13.014 mm–1 and F(000) = 4520. The crystal structure of 1 is characterized by a one-dimensional(1-D) chain-like structure. Solid-state UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum reveals the existence of a wide optical band gap of 3.36 eV. Solid-state photoluminescence experiment uncovers that it shows reddish brown upconversion emission. The emission bands are originated from the characteristic emission of the 4 f electrons intrashell transition of the 5D4 → 7 FJ(J = 6, 5, 4) of the Tb3+ ions. Energy transfer mechanism is explained by the energy level diagram of the Tb3+ ion and the isonicotinic acid ligand. It shows a remarkable CIE chromaticity coordinates(0.4158, 0.4005).展开更多

However, to measure their physical properties, the samples should be maintained in liquid phases for prolonged time, and this raises a formidable challenge. This is mainly explained by their high melting temperatures (e.g., 1629 K for Tb), high vapor pressure, and the risk of melt contamination with a crucible or support. An electrostatic levitation furnace alleviated these difficulties and allowed the determination of density, surface tension, and viscosity of several metals above their melting temperature. Here, first, the levitation furnace facility and the noncontact diagnostic procedures were briefly discussed, followed by the explanation of their thermophysical property measurements over wide temperature ranges. The density was obtained using an ultraviolet-based imaging technique that allowed excellent illumination, even at elevated temperatures. Over the 1615 to 1880 K temperature span, the density measurements could be expressed as p(T) =7.84 × 10^3 -0.47 (T - Tm) (kg · m^-3) with Tm = 1629 K, yielding a volume expansion coefficient a(T) = 6.0 × 10^-5 (K^-1). In addition, the surface tension and the viscosity could be determined by inducing a drop oscillation to a molten sample. Using this technique, the surface tension data could be expressed as σ(T) = 8.93 × 10^2 - 0.10 (T - Tm)(mN· m^-1) and those for viscosity as η(T) =0.583 exp [4.1 × 10^4/(RT)] (MPa·s) over the 1690 to 1980 K temperature range展开更多

The fluorescence intensity of Tb ̄Ⅲ -TMA system can be greatly increased by La ̄(3+) , which causedthe largest enhancement of the fluorescence intensity over two orders of magnitude. The intermolecular transfer of energy was responsible for the mechanism of the fluorascence enhancement. Gelatin plays animportant role for the stabilization of the system. The system, having the maximum excitation and emis-sion wavelengths at 260 nm and 549 nm, respectively, shows a constant fluorescence interisity over the pHrange 4~6. The fluorescence intensity is a linear function of Tb ̄(3+) concentration in the range of 8. 0 ×10  ̄(-9)~ 2. 6 × 10 ̄(-7) mol· L ̄(-1) and the limit of detection is 2.0 × 10 ̄(-9) mol·L ̄(-1) . The optimized procedurewas used for the determination of trace amount of terbium in rare earth oxides and international standardreference rocks with satisfactory results.展开更多

文摘The formation behaviors of terbium sesquisulfide(Tb_2S_3)and holmium sesquisulfide(Ho_2S_3)synthesized via the sulfurization of their oxide powders using CS_2 gas in the range of temperature 673 to 1323 K were investigated. In the sulfurization of Tb_4O_7 powder, Tb_2O_3 and Tb_2O_2S were formed in the initial stage of reaction, and α-Tb_2S_3 was finally formed at higher temperature. For long sulfurization time of 8 h, single-phase α-Tb_2S_3 could be synthesized at 1323 K. In the sulfurization of Ho_2O_3 powder using CS_2 gas, only Ho_2O_2S was formed as an intermediate product. At a sulfurization temperature above 873 K, Ho_2O_2S was formed in the initial stage of reaction, and single-phase δ-Ho_2S_3 was formed at 1323 K for 8 h instead of Ho_2O_2S. Furthermore, the influence of the addition of carbon black to the sulfurization of Ho_2O_3 powder using CS_2 gas was investigated, and the result implied that the reactions were accelerated slightly by the addition of carbon black.

文摘A terbium benzoate complex with 1,10-phenanthroline [Tb(ba)3(phen)]2, where ba = benzoate and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, has been prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1 with a = 10.7881(5), b = 11.9262(6), c = 12.4249(6) ?, a = 105.1260(10), β = 93.6010(10), ? = 113.3350(10)o, (C33H23N2O6Tb)2, Mr = 1404.90, V = 1391.87(12) ?3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.676 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 2.590 mm-1, F(000) = 696, the final R = 0.0277 and wR = 0.0670 for 6085 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). The crystal consists of binuclear molecules of the title compound. Each Tb3+ ion is nine-coordinated to one 1,10-phenan- throline molecule, one bidentate carboxylate group and four bridging carboxylate groups. The carboxylate groups are bonded to the terbium ion in three modes: the chelating bidentate, bridging bidentate and bridging-chelating tridentates. Excitation and luminescence data observed at room temperature show that the title complex emits very intensive green fluorescence under ultraviolet light. The results of thermal analysis indicate that the complex [Tb(ba)3phen]2 is very thermal stable.

文摘The fluorescence of terbium (Ⅲ) was enhanced by about three orders of magnitude in the presence of trimellitic acid (benzene-1, 2, 4-tricarboxylic acid (TLA)) in aqueous solution at pH 6. The fluorescence intensity could be greatly increased when the system of Tb^3+-TLA was treated with La^3+ (or Gd^3+) and TritonX- 100. The addition of La^3+ (or Gd^3+) enhanees the fluorescence of the system by about two orders of magnitude due to cofluorescenee, and the TritonX-100 micellar medium plays an important role for stabilization of the system. Both the intermolecular energy transfer mode and intramolecular energy transfer mode are responsible for the mechanism of fluorescence enhancement. In the optimum condi- tions, the fluorescence intensity is a linear function of Tb3~ concentration in the range of 7.8 × 10^-9-3.6 × 10^4 mol/L for the system Tb^3+-La^3+-TLA and 1.0 × 10^-8-4.7 × 10^-5 mol/L for the system Tb^3+-Gd^3+-TLA, and the limits of detection are 4.6 × 10^-10 mol/L and 6.0 × 10^-10 mol/L, respectively.
文摘The binding of Tb 3+ to chicken apoovotransferrin was studied by monitoring the fluorescent intensity of Tb 3+ at 549 nm. The conditional equilibrium constants for the complexation of Tb 3+ by chicken apoovotransferrin in 0 1 mol/L hepes, at pH 7 4 and room temperature were measured. The successive macroscopic binding constants are lg K 1=9 08±0 12 and lg K 2=7 36±0 22. The molar fluorescence enhancement of Tb 3+ apoovotransferrin complex is (2 06±0 14)×10 4 mol -1 ·L. The fluorescence quenching experiment and the titration of N terminal monoferric ovotransferrin showed that Tb 3+ has a preference for being bound to the N terminal binding site of apoovotransferrin.
文摘Poly (N-vinylacetatnide) ( PNVA) was synthesized by free radical polymerization in ethanol solution, in which alpha, alpha'-azobisisobutyronitrile was used as an initiator. Tb(III)-PNVA polymer was prepared and characterized by ultraviolet-visual (UV), fourier transform infrared (FIF-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and fluorescence spectroscopy. The experimental results of UV, FT-IR and XPS show that the Tb (III)-PNVA electrovalent complex is formed by electrostatic interaction between terbium (III) cation and complexible atoms of acylamino group in the pendant chain of the polymer. The fluorescence spectrum of the complex exhibits intensive characteristic emission of terbium at 490, 545 and 584 run, which are assigned to D-5(4)->F-7(6), D-5(6)->F-5(6) and D-5(4)->F-7(3) transition, indicating that there exists an efficient intermolecular energy transfer from the polymer ligand to the central rare earth ion. The emission intensity of the complex is increased with the increasing concentration of Tb (III) ion until the weight ratio of Tb (III) on to PNVA is 1.5% (mass fraction), and decreased with the further increasing concentration of Tb (III) ion, which is a typical concentration quenching behavior.

文摘Two series of solid complexes of europium and terbium with biphenyl 4-carboxylic acid and phen were synthesized and characterized in this report. Their elemental analysis, molar conductivities and TG-DTA studies indicate that the complexes have the composition of Eu(phen)L3·1/2H2O, Eu0.5RE0.5(phen) L3·1/2H2O; Tb (phen) L3·H2O and Tb0.5 RE0.5(Phen)L3·1/2H2O. (RE = Y3+, La3+ and Gd3+; L = biphenyl 4-carboxylic acid; phen = o-Phenanthroline). The studies of their IR, UV 1H NMR and molar conductivities demonstrate that biphenyl 4-carboylic acid is bounded with RE (III ) ion. Rare earth ions coordinate with two nitrogen atoms of phen molecules directly in these rare earth complexes. The fluorescence spectra and fluorescence lifetimes of the rare earth complexes show that the fluorescent intensity and lifetime of a series of europium complexes are longer than those of the series of terbium complexes as having the some ligands. There are better fluorescent intensity and lifetime of hetero-nuclear rare earth complexes than homo-nuclear rare earth complexes for europium complexes. The fluorescence emission intensity of Eu3 + is raised by inert fluorescent rare earth ions (Y3+ , Gd3+ and La3+ ), but in Tb3+ hetero-nuclear rare earth complexes the intensity of Tb3+ ions are quenched by the inert fluorescent rare earth ions.

文摘A novel terbium-mercury complex [Tb(IA)3(H3 O)2]2 n(2 n HgCl4)(n Hg2 Cl5)·n H3 O· 3 n H2 O(1, HIA = isonicotinic acid) has been synthesized through hydrothermal reactions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the C2/c space group of monoclinic system with a = 24.2347(5), b = 20.8342(6), c = 15.3206(3) ?, β = 128.257(2)°, V = 6074.3(2) ?3, C36H41Cl13Hg4N6O20Tb2, Mr = 2458.80, Z = 4, Dc = 2.689 g/cm3, μ(Mo Kα) = 13.014 mm–1 and F(000) = 4520. The crystal structure of 1 is characterized by a one-dimensional(1-D) chain-like structure. Solid-state UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum reveals the existence of a wide optical band gap of 3.36 eV. Solid-state photoluminescence experiment uncovers that it shows reddish brown upconversion emission. The emission bands are originated from the characteristic emission of the 4 f electrons intrashell transition of the 5D4 → 7 FJ(J = 6, 5, 4) of the Tb3+ ions. Energy transfer mechanism is explained by the energy level diagram of the Tb3+ ion and the isonicotinic acid ligand. It shows a remarkable CIE chromaticity coordinates(0.4158, 0.4005).
文摘To understand the nature and behavior of rare earth metals in their liquid phases, accurate values of their physical properties are essential. However, to measure their physical properties, the samples should be maintained in liquid phases for prolonged time, and this raises a formidable challenge. This is mainly explained by their high melting temperatures (e.g., 1629 K for Tb), high vapor pressure, and the risk of melt contamination with a crucible or support. An electrostatic levitation furnace alleviated these difficulties and allowed the determination of density, surface tension, and viscosity of several metals above their melting temperature. Here, first, the levitation furnace facility and the noncontact diagnostic procedures were briefly discussed, followed by the explanation of their thermophysical property measurements over wide temperature ranges. The density was obtained using an ultraviolet-based imaging technique that allowed excellent illumination, even at elevated temperatures. Over the 1615 to 1880 K temperature span, the density measurements could be expressed as p(T) =7.84 × 10^3 -0.47 (T - Tm) (kg · m^-3) with Tm = 1629 K, yielding a volume expansion coefficient a(T) = 6.0 × 10^-5 (K^-1). In addition, the surface tension and the viscosity could be determined by inducing a drop oscillation to a molten sample. Using this technique, the surface tension data could be expressed as σ(T) = 8.93 × 10^2 - 0.10 (T - Tm)(mN· m^-1) and those for viscosity as η(T) =0.583 exp [4.1 × 10^4/(RT)] (MPa·s) over the 1690 to 1980 K temperature range
文摘The phenomenon of fluorescence enhancement for the system of terbium( Ⅲ ) with trimesic acid [ ben-zene-1, 3, 5-tricarboxylic acid (TMA)] in the presence of an excase of La ̄(3+) in gelatin aqusous solution wasstudied. The fluorescence intensity of Tb ̄Ⅲ -TMA system can be greatly increased by La ̄(3+) , which causedthe largest enhancement of the fluorescence intensity over two orders of magnitude. The intermolecular transfer of energy was responsible for the mechanism of the fluorascence enhancement. Gelatin plays animportant role for the stabilization of the system. The system, having the maximum excitation and emis-sion wavelengths at 260 nm and 549 nm, respectively, shows a constant fluorescence interisity over the pHrange 4~6. The fluorescence intensity is a linear function of Tb ̄(3+) concentration in the range of 8. 0 ×10  ̄(-9)~ 2. 6 × 10 ̄(-7) mol· L ̄(-1) and the limit of detection is 2.0 × 10 ̄(-9) mol·L ̄(-1) . The optimized procedurewas used for the determination of trace amount of terbium in rare earth oxides and international standardreference rocks with satisfactory results.

Photoluminescence studies show both compounds exhibit typical Tb(Ⅲ) luminescence emissions. An efficient ligand-to-Tb(Ⅲ) energy transfer is observed in the emission spectra for both compounds.
文摘Three new complexes TbL3dipy (H2O)2, TbL3phen (H2O) 2 and TbL2 (TPPO) 2NO3 were synthesized (L = phenylglyoxylate ion, dipy = 2, 2-dipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthmline, TPPO = Triphenyl phosphine oxide). Elemental analysis, conductivity, IR spectra, and ^1HNMR spectra studies were performed. IR spectra indicate that the carboxylate ion of phenylglyoxylate is coordinated to the Tb(Ⅲ) ion as an unidentate ligand. In ^1HNMR, the signals of different hydrogens in phenylglyoxylate ion shift upfield. The excitation and emission spectra of the three solid complexes were recorded at morn temperature, in which the optimum excitation wavelengths are, 361.0, 359.0 and 367.0 nm for these three complexes, respectively. Four emission bands due to the ^5D4-^7Fj(j = 6, 5, 4, 3) transitions were observed for TbL3dipy(H2O)2(489.0, 545.0, 584.0, 620.0 nm) and TbL3phen(H2O)2(490.0, 544.0, 583.0, 620.0 nm). Under the same conditions, only one emission band due to the ^5D4-^7F5 transition was observed for the complex TbL2(TPPO)2NO3. The emission intensity of TbL3dipy(H2O)2 is the strongest among the three complexes.
