| Abstract: | The luminescence and magnetic properties of mixed-ligand europium trifluoroacetates with nitrogen- and phosphorus-containing neutral ligands [Eu(TFA)3 · 3H2O]2 and Eu(TFA)3 · 2D · nH2O were studied (here TFA is the trifluoroacetic acid anion, and D is Phen (1,10-phenanthroline), n = 1; DMF (dimethylformamide), n = 1; or TPPO (triphenylphosphine oxide), n = 3). The molar magnetic susceptibility increased in the series of complex compounds Eu(TFA)3 · 2Phen · H2O < [Eu(TFA)3 · 3H2O]2 < Eu(TFA)3 · 2DMF · H2O < Eu(TFA)3 · 2TPPO · 3H2O. Correlations were found between the luminescent and magnetic characteristics of the complex compounds. |
