We present the enhancement of luminescence of europium complex, Eu(3+)-ciprofloxacin (CIP), in the presence of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) for the CIP determination. The increment of the luminescence intensity of the Eu(3+)-CIP complex with Ag NPs was obtained due to the transfer of resonance energy to the fluorophores through the interaction of the excited-state fluorophores and surface plasmon electron in the metal nano surface. The luminescence intensity of Eu3+ was enhanced by complexation with CIP at 614 nm after excitation at 373 nm corresponding to the 5D0-7F2 transitions of Eu3+ ion. Based on the above phenomenon, a sensitive and rapid spectrofluorimetric method has been developed for the CIP determination. Linearity of the calibration curve was obtained in the range of 2.0 x 10(-10)-1.0 x 10(-8) g mL(-1) with correlation coefficient of 0.9992. The limit of detection of CIP was found to be 1.9 x 10(-11) g mL(-1) with the relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.19% for 5 replicate measurements of 5.0 x 10(-7) g mL(-1) of CIP. The present method has been successfully applied for CIP determination in pharmaceutical and biological samples.
