[PHp1-1] Synthesis of Eu Complexes with Dibenzoylmethane and 2,2'-Bipyridyl Ligands and Preparation of Luminescent Thin Films by Wet-process
Eu complex, dibenzoylmethane ligand, 2,2’-bipyridyl ligand, photoluminescence
A new europium (Eu) complex was synthesized using dibenzoylmethane and 2,2'-bipyridyl as ligands, i.e. Eu(DBM)3bipy. Water molecules were successfully removed from it, leading to strong red emissions. The new complex is soluble in some organic solvents, suggesting that it is useful for a wet-process.
