Quenching of IR luminescence of erbium, neodymium, and ytterbium beta-diketonate complexes by ligand C-H and C-D bonds.
The effect of CH and CD quenching on the luminescence lifetime of Er(3+) Nd(3+) and Yb(3+) in the Cs[Ln(HFA)(4)] system has been quantified, and we have shown that for Er(3+) ions the quenching is dominated by the nearest neighbor CH oscillators, whereas for Nd(3+) ions the roles of more distant CH oscillators and nearest neighbor CD oscillators are important.
