Figure 5

The energy levels of the 7FJ states of Eu3+ in the SAP and TSAP coordination geometries (left). The J states of the Eu3+ ion are shown in the centre for comparison. The energy levels of the 7F3 states could not be determined, the range over which those states lie is shown by a shaded region. The mJ states of Gd3+ in the presence of a DOTA-type ligand field (LF) are also shown (right). Only one splitting is shown as both the SAP and TSAP isomers appear to have similar ground state splitting as observed in the a2T parameter of the EPR fitting.
