Abstract

Europium tetrakis dibenzoylmethide triethylammonium (EuD4TEA) is one of the most intense triboluminescent (TL) materials currently known. Some time ago, the authors reported that the triboluminescent yield was increased by 82% by changing the starting europium salt from europium chloride to europium nitrate. Unfortunately, europium nitrate has been classified as a hazardous material that cannot be shipped by air, which limits the availability of manufacturers and increases the cost. In an effort to further reduce the synthesis cost of EuD4TEA, we explore the effects of europium acetate on the triboluminescent properties of EuD4TEA by comparing the triboluminescent yield. The photoluminescent spectra as well as crystal structure using an optical microscope will also be explored
