The target complexes showed good photoluminescence properties, which indicate that this type of compound can be used as sensitizers having luminescence for the green (Tb3+) and red (Eu3+) emission. The obtained results revealed that sensitizer efficiency can be improved by adding ligands like acac (Eu(acac)3, which has also enhanced the luminescence quantum output and period for Eu3+ ions. The ground state geometries were developed by using density functional theory at B3LYP/6-31G** level. The charge transfer analysis and electronic properties were performed. The Europium and Terbium complexes formation with boad ligand was explored based on molecular electrostatic potential, MDC-q charges, and frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) analysis.1345-1355openAccesssynthesiseuropium complexesterbium complexesluminescencetartaric acidpyrrolidinesrare earthsphotoluminescencedensity functional methodnmr spectraArtigo de periódico63010.1007/s10895-020-02613-z0000-0001-7028-0878https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7028-087827.8945.00
