title: Photochemical fluorescence enhancement of the terbium-lomefloxacin complex and its application.
abstract: The sensitized fluorescence intensity of the terbium ion (Tb(3+)) can be notably enhanced after the Tb(3+)-lomefloxacin(LFLX) complex system was irradiated by 365nm ultraviolet light. A photochemical reaction occurs to the irradiated Tb(3+)-LFLX complex. A new Tb(3+)system with intense fluorescence is obtained. On this basis a new sensitive and selective photochemical fluorimetry for the determination of LFLX was established. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the linear range of the determination is 2.0-500x10(-8) mol l(-1) for LFLX, and the detection limit is 6.0x10(-9) mol l(-1).Without any pre-treatment the recoveries of LFLX in human urine and serum were determined.
