Eight novel europium(III)-based coordination compounds with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands with a chloro, methoxy, ethoxy, cyano, carboxylic acid, methyl carboxylate, ethyl carboxylate, and amino substituent on the 2-position have been prepared in yields ranging from 43 to 89 %. Additionally, one lanthanum(III) coordination compound of 2-amino-1,10- phenanthroline has been isolated. All compounds have the general formula [Ln(L)2(NO3)3], except for the compound with the carboxylate ligand, which has the formula [Eu(O2Cphen) 3]. Three of the EuIII complexes as well as the La III compound crystal structures have been determined, all of which show similar N4O6 coordination spheres for the Ln III ion. Seven compounds exhibit bright luminescence that is characteristic of EuIII upon irradiation with near-UV radiation, thus indicating efficient ligand-to-metal energy transfer. The complex with 2-amino-1,10-phenanthroline is nonluminescent. The solid-state photoluminescent quantum yields range from 10 to 79 %, and the luminescence lifetimes vary from 0.43 to 1.57 ms. Analysis of the spectral intensities with the Judd-Ofelt theory shows a significant contribution of nonradiative processes that quench the luminescence of the 5D0 level on EuIII. Eight new EuIII complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline ligands substituted on the 2-position have been prepared, analyzed, and the photoluminescence properties studied. The complex with the 2-chloro substituent exhibits bright photoluminescence with a high quantum yield of 78 %. The complex with the 2-amino substituent is nonluminescent. Copyright
