The 4f-4f transition spectra for the interaction of L-valine with praseodymium(III) in aqueous organic
solvents (50% v/v) of CH3CN, DMF, CH3OH and C4H8O2 is investigated. The variation in the
theoretically computed values of the absorption spectral parameters viz. energy interaction
parameters-spin-orbit interaction (ξ4f), Slater-Condon (Fk), nephelauxetic ratio (β), Racah energy (Ek),
bonding parameter (b1/2) and percentage covalency (δ) explained the nature of complexation. The
values of evaluated intensity parameters viz. oscillator strengths (P) and Judd-Ofelt parameters (Ωt) (t
= 2, 4, 6) were analyzed to see the possibility of outer and inner sphere coordination of Pr(III) with
L-valine. Further, reaction pathways for Pr(III) with L-valine and consequently its thermodynamic
parameters have been evaluated through 4f-4f transition spectra in the DMF solvent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
