FLUORESCENCE ENHANCEMENT OF SCANDIUM COMPOUNDS WITH

2-NAPHTHOYLTRIFLUOROACETONE IN WATER SOLUTION

The fluorescence effect of the scandium compounds with 2-naphthoyltrifluoroacetone  on solvent composition was studied. The earlier unknown increase in fluorescence quantum yield of scandium diketonate was observed under the change of solvent from dimethylformamide to water. The increase in quantum yield of fluorescence was interpreted as the consequence of scandium compounds aggregation into nanoparticles in water environment.
