Eu(III) exhibits one electron-transfer reduction at E1/2 = -0.564 V(vs. Ag/AgCl) and the hypersensitive peak at 615 ㎚ corresponding to 5D0→7F2 transition in 0.1 M LiClO4 aqueous solution. Upon the addition of 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid(PDA) to the Eu(III) aqueous soultion, the reduction potential shifts negatively and the PDA, and the Eu(III)-PDA complex emits great fluorescence than free-Eu(III) ion at 615 nm. The results are interpreted in term of the electrochemical and spectrofluorometric studies.
