Abstract

A new terbium (III) luminescent compound {[Tb2(PDC)2(ox)(H2O)4](H2O)2}n was synthesized by the self-assembly of Tb3+ ions with 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate (PDC) and oxalate (ox) ligands and characterized by fluorescence spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The density functional theory (DFT) and high-level correlated ab initio wave function methods with Spin-Orbit Coupling correction (CASSCF/SO and CAS-NEVPT2/SOC) were successfully applied to predict the absorption and emission spectra of this strongly correlated lanthanide system in excellent agreement with the experimental results.
