Abstract

Cation effects are studied on the excitation energy transfer reaction between anionic complexes, i.e., [Tb(dpa)3]3- (dpa=2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate) quenched by [Cr(ox)3]3- (ox=oxalate ion), [Cr(mal)3]3- (mal=malonate ion) and [Nd(dpa)3]3- in aqueous solutions in the presence of alkali metal ions added for adjustments of ionic strengths. In the quenching reaction of [Cr(ox)3]3-, magnitudes of quenching rate constants (kq) and energy transfer rate constant in encounter complex (k1) are changed by the cations in the order of Li +<Na+<K+≈Rb+≈Cs +, that is quite contrary of the cation effect on energy transfer reaction between [Ru(N-N)3]2+ and [Cr(ox) 3]3-, reported in the previous paper. On the other hand, the rate constants in quenching reactions by [Cr(mal)3]3- and [Nd(dpa)3]3- remain almost constant. This result indicates that more separated donor-acceptor pair is not sensitive to coexisting cations.
