Abstract

The interaction between Tb(III) and several α-hydroxycarboxylic acids has been studied by means of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectroscopy. Complexes having the general formula Tb(DPA)(L) in ratios of 1:2:1 and 1:1:1 were studied (where DPA signifies pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate) were studied in an attempt to use CPL spectroscopy as a probe of the solution chemistry existing between the Tb/DPA complexes and the chiral hydroxycarboxylic acids. The chiral L ligands used were L-hydroxy-isocaproic acid, L-arginnic acid, L-hydroxyglutaric acid, and D-isocitric acid. All of the ligands were found to bind Tb(III) in a bidentate fashion, except for isocitrate which appeared to be terdentate. Equilibrium quotients for the interaction of the Tb/DPA complexes were calculated from the CPL data.
