Abstract: A new type lumincscent material, benzoic acid-terbium complexes are investigated by absorption, infrared, fluorescence and timc-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. In the presence of Tb ion the fluorescence intensitics of benzoic acid (At) and its derivatives, 4-hydroxylbcnzoic acid (A2), 3-hydroxylbenzoic acid (A3), 2-hydroxylbenzoic acid(A4), markedly decreassed; and the fluorescence lifetime of acids remained unchanged. It is a typical example of static quenching process. The fluorescence intensity of acid-terbium complexes changes dramatically according to their structure, bonding strength and intramolecular encrgy transfer efficiency. The influences of solvents and pH value arc discussed also.
