a

The reported values are the same for both enantiomers.

b

Number of methanol molecules in the inner coordination sphere.

c

Calculated as described in ref (50). Following the Judd–Ofelt theory,56 one can calculate τrad from the emission spectra, only in the case of the Eu(III) ion.

d

Calculated by a modification for Tb(III) of the equation discussed for the Eu(III)50 ion.
