Six new Europium (III) complexes with ternary and tetrakis structures - Eu(BID)(3)(PHEN), Eu(MBID)(3)(PHEN), [Eu (BID)(4)]N--(+)(Et)(4), [Eu(MBID)4]N--(+)(Et)(4), [Eu(BID)4]N--(+)(Bu)(4), and [Eu(MBID)(4)]N--(+)(Bu)(4) (BID - 2-benzoyl1,3-indandionate, MBID - 2-(4-methylbenzoyI)-1,3-indandionate and PHEN - 1,10-phenantroline) are synthesized, characterized, and incorporated into poly-N-vinylcarbazole (PVK) and poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrices. Complex structure shows significant effect on thermal properties and emission properties of complexes in solid-state. Used countercations (N+(Et)(4) or N+(Bu)(4)) greatly affects complex solubility in solvents, absolute photoluminescence quantum yields and photoluminescence lifetimes in solid-state. Complexes exhibit red-light emission attributed to D-5(0)-> F-7(J) (J = 0-4) transitions of Eu3+ ion with moderate to high quantum yields (0.06-0.60), bi-exponential lifetimes and pure red-light CIE chromaticity coordinates (x = 0.670; y = 0.330) in solid-state. Incorporation of synthesized complexes in PVK matrices leads to significant emission intensity and quantum yield decrease.However, doped PMMA films with synthesized complexes exhibit moderate PLQY (0.09-0.14) and longer lifetime values than in solid-state and could show potential application as polymer optical fibers or in OLED's and other devices.
