Preparation and Properties of Eu^(3+) Rare Earth Complex and Fluorescent Fiber

A novel Eu^3＋ rare earth complex, composed of 4 - hydroxybenzolate acid and 1, 10 - phenanthroline ligands was synthesized. The apparent morphology, composition, thermal stability and fluorescent property of the rare earth complex were measured by TEM, Element analysis, IR, TG and Fluorescence spectrometer. The results indicated that this rare earth complex has sphere-like morphology and its diameter was about 100 nm. The complex has good thermal stability due to the strong coordination between the Eu^3＋ ions and the ligands. Based on the composition analysis, the complex structure formula was： Eu （HOC6 H4 COI）3 （phen） ·H2O Fluorescence spectra showed that the rare earth complex emission peaks were corresponding to the transition of ^5D0→7FJ（J=0,1,2,4）,. and the highest intensity fluorescence peak was at 617 nm. The luminescent fiber was prepared by blending melt-spinning with rare earth complex and polypropylene resin. It also has a good luminescent quality, which the strongest emission peak was at 619 nm. It could be considered suitable for industrial application.
