Abstract

The fluorescent characteristics of lanthanide chelates are of considerable interest in connection with electronic energy transfer processes and with their use in laser systems. We have synthesized various chelating groups, such as diketone and bypyridyl containing polymers and prepared their Tb3+ and Eu3+ complexes. Their fluorescent properties in connection with a possible laser action were investigated.

Electroluminscence (EL) in organic compounds has been investigated from fundamental as well as practical point of views. Various organic dyes were utilized as emitter materials in EL devices. In these examples, owing to the broad nature of the luminescence spectra of organic dyes, the luminescent colors are dull. We have utilized lanthanide metal ion complexes as a luminescent emitter.

Tb and Eu ion complexes emitted sharp green and red light, respectively. The configuration of the EL cell and experimental results are described.
