Luminescent micro- and nanofibers based on novel europium phthalate complex

Luminescent Coatings Based on (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane and Europium Complex β-Diketophosphazene

“…This excitation that also known as the "antenna effect" is possessed by coordination ligands which can transfer energy from the ligand to the metal center resulting in luminescence of lanthanide ions [9]. A large number of special ligands have been synthesized for sensitizing the luminescence of metals [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], in particular, europium [18][19][20]. Among them βdiketones are excellent chelating ligands used to sensitize the luminescence of the europium ion and have proven themselves well [10,21,22].…”

Eu3+‐doped polystyrene and polyvinylidene fluoride nanofibers made by electrospinning for photoluminescent fabric designing

“…Lanthanides are the most promising materials among rare‐earth compounds for this purpose due to their optical properties. They are particularly useful for technology that uses their property of reacting to a particular wavelength of light based on their sharp emission bandwidth, extremely long emission lifetime and electronic transition between 4 f orbitals . The electrons in the partially filled 4 f shell are very well shielded from the surrounding completely filled 5 s and 5 p shells.…”
