Luminescence properties of europium(III) compounds with quinaldic acid and nitrogen-containing ligands

摘要

Luminescent mixed-ligand Eu(III) complexes with quinaldic acid and nitrogen-containing dimeric ligands are synthesized. The thermal and spectral-luminescent properties of the obtained mixedligand Eu(III) complexes are studied. It is shown that a water molecule and a neutral ligand are detached during thermolysis in two stages with endothermic effects. It is found that the quinaldinate ion is coordinated to a europium(III) ion in a bidentate fashion. The Stark structure of the 5D (0)-7F (j) (j = 0, 1, 2) transitions in the low-temperature luminescence spectra of europium(III) complexes is analyzed.
