Complexation and luminescence spectroscopic studies of europium(III) with polymaleic acid

G. Montavon
Summary
The complexation behavior of europium(III) with polymaleic acid (PMA) was studied at pH 5 in 0.1 M NaClO4 by anion exchange (AE). The concentration range investigated was from E-9 M to E-4 M for the europium ion and from 1 to 50 mg/l for the polymer. The quantitative description of experimental data showed the formation of a 1 : 1 Eu : PMA complex and the existence of at least two distinct interaction environments ("sites") of Eu with the polymer chain whose proportions varied with the ratio between total Eu and PMA concentrations. The existence of different sites was further demonstrated by Time Resolved Laser-induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy (TRLFS) measuring the lifetimes and emission spectra of EuPMA complexes. By using empirical relationships, environments implying 1 : 2 and 1 : 1 Eu : COO− coordination could be deduced. The results show similarities with published data obtained for fulvic and Aldrich humic acids as far as complexation properties at pH = 5 are concerned.
