    Author: Silva WE, Belian MF, Freire RO, de Sá GF, Alves S.

    Abstract:
    This work presents the synthesis and spectroscopic study of new homotrinuclear (TRI) systems for photonics applications. The luminescence spectroscopy shows characteristics transitions of Eu(III) and Tb(III) ions. For the Gd(III) complexes, the triplets states were determined by phosphorescence measurement. The complexes’ coordination geometries were calculated using the Sparkle/AM1 model. For the europium systems, the Sparkle/AM1 geometries were used to calculate all details involved in the energy transfer process, and the theoretical quantum yields were determined. From an energy diagram, that estimates triplet levels, it was possible to understand some experimental phenomenon, such as weak luminescence for precursor complex (without heterocyclics ligands), and ligands emission in terbium complexes. Some of these observations can also be explained by the Jablonski diagrams that describe, based on theoretical calculations, all luminescent process. The synthesized complexes showed high values of quantum yield in ethanolic environment: 50% for EuTRIDipy, 26% EuTRITerpy, and 56% for EuTRIPhen complexes.
