[Study on the photofluorescence of Eu(III) and long chain fatty acid complexes]

The complexes having the compositions of Eu(L1)(3)2H2O,Eu(L1)3phen,Eu(L2)(3)2H2O,Eu(L2)3phen (phen = 1,10-phenathroline,L1 = Dodecanoic acid, L2 = Stearic acid) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and FTIR spectra. Their fluorescence spectra, UV spectra and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) have been investigated. The results show that the 5D0-7F1 and 5D0-7F2 transition of Eu(III) are observed in the emission spectrum of the particles at room temperature. As good photoluminescent materials, they may be useful in the regions of EL (Electroluminescence) or macromolecule composite materials doped with rare earth.
