Abstract

Two novel luminescent europium tris(β-diketonate) complexes [Eu(dbm)3·PX] and [Eu(acac)3·PX] (dbm: dibenzoylmethane, acac: acetylacetonate and PX: piroxicam) were successfully synthesized. These coordination compounds were characterized by infrared vibrational spectroscopy (IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and luminescence spectroscopy. The thermal behavior of the complexes was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTG) techniques. The optical results have shown that these complexes present a clear intra and inter-molecular energy transfer and corroborates the sensitivity of their emission efficiency to the excitation wavelength, multiphonon non-radiative decays and temperature dependence. These new complexes may act as efficient light converting molecular devices, suggesting that they can be used for controllable photonic applications.
