Abstract

Tetracycline possesses a great tendency to form complexes with a number of chemical species, particularly with Eu3+ ions. In this work we investigate the europium optical properties of three tetracyclines europium complexes: Metacycline (MTc), Oxytetracycline (OTc), and Chlortetracycline (CTc), in the presence and absence of hydrogen peroxide (HP). The results show that the emission band of EuOTc have enhancement in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. A calibration curve was shown for this complex with the best molar ratio obtained.
