“… 12 , 24 , 25 Due to the isoelectronic nature of the Cu(I) and Zn(II) ions, they exhibit quite similar luminescence properties, as was shown in luminescence/emission studies on Cu(I) and Zn(II) containing silicon-rich zeolites (emission bands at 540, 480, and 450 nm for Cu(I) and 540, 480, and 425 nm for Zn(II) and luminescence decays ranging from 120–35 and 135–55 for Cu(I) and Zn(II), respectively). 14 , 26 Therefore, conclusions for Cu(I) can be transferable also to Zn(II) luminescence/quenching in the presence of Co(II) (detailed discussion of the application of Förster–Dexter theory to the quenching of metal ion luminescence in zeolites, see ref ( 12 )).…”
