This study synthesized a europium (Eu(3+)) complex Eu(DBM)(3)Cl-MIP (DBM = dibenzoyl methane; Cl-MIP = 2-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-methyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline) dispersed in a benzyl methacrylate (BMA) monomer and treated with ultraviolet (UV) light for polymerization. Spectral results showed that the europium complex containing an antenna, Cl-MIP, which had higher triplet energy into ...

We elucidated the distance-dependent plasmonic effects on radiative transitions from an Eu(3+) ion-doped phosphor by varying the thickness of the dielectric spacer. Magnesium oxide prepared by electron-beam evaporation was chosen for the dielectric spacer. Spectral overlap between emission from Eu(3+) ions and the plasmon band of Ag nanoparticles led to improved luminescence intensity. This lum...

BiFeO3 (BFO), Bi0.86Sm0.07Eu0.07FeO3 (BSEFO), and Bi0.86Sm0.07Cd0.07FeO3 (BSCFO) nano powders were prepared by the sol-gel combustion method and the catalytic performances were evaluated in the acetylation reaction of benzyl alcohol. The physical chemical properties of the catalysts were character...

The title co-crystal, [Eu(NCS)3(C18H15OP)3][Eu(NCS)2(NO3)(C18H15OP)3], contains two distinct neutral complexes. Each complex has threefold symmetry about its central Eu(3+) ion. As a result, the nitrate-containing mol-ecule contains disorder of its bidentate nitrate and two N-bound thio-cyanate anions, while the [Eu(NCS)3(OPPh3)3] complex is fully ordered. There is a weak π-π stacking inter-act...

We report on a study of the radiation resistance and fluorescence of bismuth germanate scintillation crystals doped with europium (BGO : Eu). The transmission spectrum, the light output and the fluorescence spectrum of BGO : Eu crystals were measured before and after irradiation . The radiation resistance of BGO : Eu crystals was found to be increased with increase of europium doping. A red flu...

Doping in ceria (CeO2) nanoparticles with europium (Eu) of varying concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.5, …, 50 atom%) is studied using complementary experimental techniques and novel observations were made during the investigation. The immediate observable effect was a distinct reduction in particle sizes with increasing Eu concentration attributed to the relaxation of strain introduced due to the repla...

Fluorescence energy transfer from excited molecules to dielectric medium interfaces was modeled as a many-dipole system. A formula for the apparent quantum yield q , which expresses the ratio of the energy flux above the emitting dipoles to the total a 3 Ž . power emitted by these dipoles, was derived. The distances between Eu ions of europium III thenoyltrifluoroacetonate Ž . EuTTA and the die...

Herein, novel europium(III) complex derivatives dedicated to polymer chemistry applications as molecular sensors have been reported. The following are among them tris(4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenylbutane-1,3-dione)europium(III) (BTA) and tris(4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-naphthyl)butane-1,3-dione)europium(III)] (NTA). To obtain the relevant europium complexes, they were coordinated with corresponding ligands...
