Abstract

An increase in the europium emission band was observed, for the first time, with addition of urea hydrogen peroxide to the tetracycline–europium (Tc–Eu)solution. We have observed that the wavelength, the band width and the area of 5D0-7F2 europium transition change with the urea hydrogen peroxide concentration. We claim that the tetracycline–europium complexes can be used as probes of urea hydrogen peroxide concentration.
