Luminescent properties of two heteroleptic dibenzoylmethanate europium(III) complexes with 1,3-bis(5-pyridin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)propane (H2L1) and 1,4-bis(5-pyridin-2-yl-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)butane (H2L2) as ancillary ligands are described. The two double-layer-type electroluminescent cells with the structures: (1) ITO/NPB(40 nm)/Eu(DBM)2HL1 (40 nm)/LiF (1 nm)/Al (100 nm) and (2) ITO/NPB(40 ...

The europium(III) ion in the title compound, [Eu(2)(C(8)H(6)NO(2))(6)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]·5H(2)O, is coordinated by seven carboxyl-ate O atoms and two N atoms from one phenanthroline mol-ecule. The carboxyl-ate groups of 3-(3-pyrid-yl)acrylate link pairs of europium(III) ions, forming centrosymmetric dinuclear units, which further assemble into a sheet parallel to the (001) plane through hydroge...

We present a new technique for measuring the abundance of europium, a representative r-process element, in solar-metallicity stars. Our algorithm compares LTE synthetic spectra with high-resolution observational spectra using a χ-minimization routine. The analysis is fully automated, and therefore allows consistent measurement of blended lines even across very large stellar samples. We compare ...

Currently, detection in microarray bioanalysis is based mainly on the use of organic dyes. To overcome photobleaching and spectral overlaps we applied a new type of fluorophore, crystalline europium-doped gadolinium oxide (Eu:Gd2O3) nanoparticles, as labels in immunoassay microarrays. The Eu:Gd2O3 nanoparticles synthesized by spray pyrolysis offer narrow red emission, large Stokes shift, photos...

Angiogenesis, a process involving the growth of new blood vessels from the pre-existing vasculature, plays a crucial role in various pathophysiological conditions. We have previously demonstrated that europium hydroxide [Eu(III)(OH)3] nanorods (EHNs) exhibit pro-angiogenic properties through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation. ...

We present results for the chemical evolution of the Milky Way including predictions for elements from Deuterium to Europium. A comparison with the most accurate and recent data allows us to draw important conclusions on stellar nucleosynthesis processes as well as on mechanisms of galaxy formation.

Following excitation in the range 370-405 nm, the emission spectrum of a cell permeable macrocyclic Eu(III) complex incorporating an N-methylsulfonamide moiety changes form with pH, allowing ratiometric pH measurements in the range 6 to 8.

Abstract The total content of rare earth elements (REEs) and the their oxalate-soluble fraction were studied in four soil profiles (Gleyic Umbrisols, Albic Gleyic Folic Retisols (Raptic), Dystric Retisol) Central Forest Nature Reserve. REE was normalized to a local standard (the Russian Platform clay), cerium europium anomalies quantified [8]. In addition initial redistribution REEs during form...

The photo-physical properties of Eu-SWCNTs indicate that intrinsic excitonic properties of SWCNTs sensitize the lanthanoid element europium (Eu) to emit time-resolved red luminescence.
