The binding properties of Tb(III) ions in configurationally different environments were investigated using luminescence intensity and lifetime measurements. The emission intensity of Tb(III) (5D4–7F5 transition) is directly dependent upon the number of coordinated water molecules (quenchers) bound in the inner coordination sphere. The more efficiently a ligand coordinates to Tb(III) ion, the more...
