Abstract:
Trivalent europium complexes exhibit good luminescent characteristics. A series of octacoordinated ternary europium complexes with fluorinated diketone and heteroaromatic auxiliary unit were synthesized. The synthesized europium complexes were characterized by elemental, thermal, electrochemical and spectroscopic analyses. Band gap values lie in range of semiconductors which confirm the conducting behavior of prepared complexes. Photoluminescence spectra were recorded in solid state and DMSO solvent. Emission spectral profiles have displayed most intense peak at ~ 612 nm corresponding to hypersensitive 5D0 → 7F2 transition. Colorimetric parameters suggest red luminous nature of europium complexes. The luminescent heteroleptic europium complexes might be utilized as emissive materials for fabricating display.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
