Three new Tb(Ⅲ) complexes were synthesized: Tb(acac)_3(Cl-phen), Tb(acac)_3 (diph-phen), Tb(tpb)_3(phen) The analyses were carried out by elemental analysis and FAB-mass spectrometry. By the comparison of the excitation spectra and the UV-vis absorption spectra of these complexes, the green emission at 547 nm is due to the LMCT, which is followed by the emissive decay from ^5D_4level to ^7F_5 level of Tb(Ⅲ) ion According to the emission spectra, the relative quantum yield can be suggest as (Cl-phen) > Tb(acac)_3(diph-phem) > Tb(acac)_3(phem). These results imply that the emission light can be amplified by the suitabel selection of the anionic ligand which can do best in the LMCT. Furthermore, the brightness in green emission is greater for Tb(acac)_3(Cl-phen) than for Tb(acac)_3(phen) in solid, which may result from the fact that the chlorine substituent on phenanthroline attributes its electron-withdrawing factor to the electron environment of the central metal.
