Calculation of Shifting in Energy Levels for Ln3+ (Pr3+, Nd3+) Complex’s with Hetero cyclic Ligands in Solution state by using Optical Absorption Spectra
Keywords:
Hetero Cyclic Ligands, Optical Absorption Spectra, Energy Levels, UV VisibleAbstract
The absorption spectra of Ln3+ (Pr3+ and Nd3+) were investigated in UV visible regions at room temperature. Theoretical analysis of the results including the effects of configuration interaction is discussed. Good correlation between calculated and observed free-ion level energies established. Comparison of the levels observed in the solution with reported gaseous free-ion levels indicated that there is little change in the J -level structure in the 4fn configuration. Excellent agreement between observed and calculated energies is obtained.
