Europium complexes with high total photoluminescence quantum yields in solution and in PMMA.
We have prepared complexes of formula [Eu(beta-diketonate)(3)(DPEPO)] and shown quantitative excited-state energy transfer from the ligands combined with efficient Ln luminescence leading to exceptionally-high total photoluminescence quantum yield of up to 80% in solution and in PMMA.
