摘要

Lanthanide complexes are efficient luminescent systems where the triplet state of the organic ligands determines the energy transfer to the emitting levels of lanthanide ions, for instance, Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions. According to Reinhoudt and Latva, an optimal triplet state energy gap (∆E) of 2000–5000 cm−1 favors efficient sensitization. In this work, isostructural [Eu(PHT)3·H2O] and [Tb(PHT)3·H2O] complexes were synthesized using phthalic acid (H₂PHT) as ligand, and their luminescent properties were investigated. The [Eu(PHT)3·H2O] showed a lifetime of 0.49 ms and Φ = 26.2%, whereas the [Tb(PHT)3·H2O] exhibited a longer lifetime of 0.97 ms and higher Φ = 85.3%. These results confirm the decisive role of the triplet state correlating the ∆E values of ~ 7520 cm−1 for Eu3+ (5D0) and ~ 4270 cm−1 for Tb3+ (5D4) with the performance of both complexes, providing insights for designing efficient luminescent lanthanide complexes.
