Abstract

Europium(III) complexes with two series of β-diketonates and trioctylphosphine oxide (topo) have been synthesized and the fluorescence properties were studied. The β-dikatonate ligands used had the formula R1COCHCOR2 (I: R1=2- naphthyl, R2=CF3, CF2CF3, CF2CF2CF3, CF2CF2CF2CF3; II: R1=2-phenanthryl, R2=CF3, CF2CF3, CF2CF2CF3, CF2CF2CF2CF3, which are designated as NF3, NF5, NF7, NF9, PF3, PF5, PF7 and PF9, respectively). These complexes having the composition of [Eu(L)3(topo)2] (L=NF3-NF9, PF3) and [Eu(L) 3(topo)1.5] (L=PF5-PF9) gave very strong fluorescence emission when excited by UV light (complexes of NF3-NF9, λex, max=339nm, λem, max=615nm, PF3, λex, max=344nm, λem, max=615nm, PF5-PF9, λex, max=346nm, λem, max=615nm). The ultra-violet spectra, fluorescence spectra, molar absorption coefficient (ε), fluorescence quantum yield (φf), and fluorescence lifetime (τ) of the complexes in benzene were measured. The results reveal tendencies for φf and the fluorescence absolute sensitivity (A.S=εφf) in the following order: φf, 2-naphthyl>2-phenanthryl(for an identical R2); C4F9≥C3F7>C2F5>CF3(for an identical R1); A.S, PF9>PF7>NF9≈NF7>PF5≈NF5>NF3>PF3. The 1H NMR signal of β-H in the β-diketonate ligand turns out to be a good measure to estimate φf; since the R2 is more electron-withdrawing, the β-H chemical shift goes to a higher field and the fluorescence of the complex becomes more enhanced. The detection limit of the complex [Eu(L)3(topo)1.5] (L=PF7) is 4.42×10-12M (M=mol dm-3).
