Gadolinium (III) acetylacetonate was treated by solvothermal method to produce gadolinium complexes with acetylacetonate and -OH groups. The composition, fluorescence, and magnetic properties of the products were studied in detail. The fluorescence showed the products possessed higher energy emission and excitation fluorescence compared to Gadolinium (III) acetylacetonate. Also the product produced at 160 °C possessed higher fluorescent intensity and responding ability toward external magnetic field. So the products were hydrophobic materials with magnetic and fluorescent properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
