Circularly polarized luminescence of the optically active terbium (III) (L-ammoniaisopropionicdiacetic acid) ⋯ hydrates

Abstract Optically active Tb(III) ( L -ammoniaisopropionicdiacetic acid) ⋯ hydrates, Tb(III) ( L - AIPDA) ⋯ 4 H 2 O, complexes have been newly prepared and studied by circularly polarized luminescence spectroscopy at 77 and 300 K. The total dissymmetry factor G is reasonably well explained in terms of the vicinal effect in the complex having one quadridentate ligand per Tb(III) ion.
