Solid-State Luminescence of an Americium(III) β‑Diketonate Complex: Structure and Spectroscopic Characterization of [Am(acac)2(μ-acac)(H2O)]2
Luminescence spectroscopy is a powerful method for probing the chemical and physical properties of metal ions, as perturbation of electronic states due to ligand–field effects yields changes in emissive behavior. This sensitivity is particularly valuable for the trivalent actinides, whose chemical bonding is still not...
