“…Europium luminescence spectroscopy is still of interest for symmetry determination of europium(III) complexes in solution, provided that a single complex with a well-defined structure is present in solution. Europium spectra have been used for probing the local structure of the Eu 3+ ion in glasses [182,183,186,221,[621][622][623][624][625][626][627][628][629][630][631][632][633][634][635][636]. It must be realized that many different sites are present in a glass matrix, often with a very wide variation in crystal-field parameters [182,623,624,627,[636][637][638].…”
