In the present work, excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) in salicylic acid (SA) monoanion and subsequent sensitization of Tb3+ ion in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) have been studied. The study has been carried out both by steady state and time domain fluorescence measurement techniques at room temperature. It is found that the SA completely ionizes and exists as monoanion in PVA. It exhibits a large Stokes shifted blue emission (10 000 cm(-1)) due to ESIPT and shows a decay time of 6.85 ns. On the other hand, Tb3+ ion shows a very weak green emission and a decay time of similar to 641 mu s in PVA film. Upon incorporating Tb3+ ion in SA doped PVA film, both intensity and decay time of SA decrease and sensitized emission from Tb+3 ion along with 3.8 mu s rise time is observed. Energy transfer is found to take place both from excited singlet as well as triplet states. A brief description of the properties of the present system from the viewpoint of luminescent solar collector material is addressed. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
