This thesis explores the oxidation-reduction chemistry of the excited state of Eu(III) ions, *Euaq3+, in aqueous solutions. Evidence is presented for the quenching of *Eu3+ by reductive electron transfer. It is concluded that *Eu3+ is not a strong energy transfer reagent. The reactivity of *Euaq3+ is compared with that of *UO22+.
