“…4a, after addition of ciprofloxacin into the Tb 3+ /TAPOF dispersed solution, four new emission peaks appeared respectively at 490, 544, 585 and 620 nm, and they were ascribed to the characteristic emission peaks of 5 D 4 -7 F 6 , 5 D 4 -7 F 5 , 5 D 4 -7 F 4 and 5 D 4 -7 F 3 of Tb 3+ , respectively. [29][30][31] The reason for the appearance of such new emission peaks lies in the antenna effect of Tb 3+ , that is, when ciprofloxacin was added to the Tb 3+ /TAPOF dispersion solution, the ciprofloxacin molecule would replace the water molecule in the empty coordination center of Tb 3+ and transfer the absorbed energy to Tb 3+ , thus stimulating the appearance of the characteristic emission peaks of Tb 3+ . 32 In addition, the degree of fluorescence intensity enhancement was proportional to the ciprofloxacin concentration, and the intensity of the peak at 544 nm increased most greatly, while the peak at 440 nm did not change.…”
