This paper presents the enhancement effects of nucleic acids on the fluorescence output of the binary complex formed by 8-hydroxyquinoline and tripositive metallic ions such as AI(III), Sc(III), Y(III), La(Ill), and discusses the affecting factors on the fluorescence enhancement effects. By comparing the fluorescence enhancement effects of nucleic acids with that of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the binary complexes, and measuring the fluorescence life time of each system, we supposed that the interactions of fluorescent M(III)/8-HQL complexes with nucleic acids result in multicomponent ion associates and lead to the variations of the microenvironment of the binary complexes in water medium.
