New luminescent probe based on a terbium(III) complex for studying DNA affinity of aminoalkoxy fluorenones
We have studied the spectral luminescent properties of complexes of Tb(III) ions with a series of new derivatives of 2-oxo-4-hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acid amides (L 1 –L 4 ). We have established that DNA significantly enhances the 4f luminescence of terbium(III) in these complex compounds. We s...
