Coordinated water in the complex explains the need for moisture in the enhancement procedure. Christopher J. Lennard, 1B. Sc.; Pierre A. Margot, 2Ph.D.; Meta Sterns, 3Ph.D...

... of photoluminescent properties. The intensity of this photoluminescence is increased at low temperature (77K), and this is a common characteristic of each of the complexes formed with salts of the IIb group of the Periodic Table. Spectral characteristics of these Group IIb metal complexes and the influence...
