Comprehensive synthesis and multifaceted exploration of Tb (III) ion: Structural, photophysical and computational insights for optoelectronic advancements
摘要
The present study explores the synthesis, structural characterization, photophysical properties, and computational analysis of five terbium(III) complexes derived from β-keto acid and distinct ancillary ligands—bathophenanthroline, 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridyl,2,2′-bipyridyl, and 1,10-phenanthroline. The compositional analyses were carried out via elemental analysis and EDAX spectra. At the same time, Scanning microscopy and Powder XRD opted to determine the shape of particles, crystallinity index and grain size. Comprehensive structure and bonding investigation are performed using UV-Vis, FTIR, and NMR (1H and 13C) to validate the successful coordination of terbium ions with ligands, revealing significant electronic interactions. The photometric study of terbium complexes shows characteristic bands of Tb (III) ion in emission spectra at 490, 549, 587, and 623 nm, corresponding to
