Resumo

In this paper the synthesis, characterization and photoluminescent behavior of the [RE(DBM)3L2] complexes (RE = Gd and Eu) with a variety of sulfoxide ligands; L = benzyl sulfoxide (DBSO), methyl sulfoxide (DMSO), phenyl sulfoxide (DPSO) and p-tolyl sulfoxide (PTSO) have been investigated in solid state. The emission spectra of the Eu3+–β-diketonate complexes show characteristics narrow bands arising from the 5D0 → 7FJ (J = 0–4) transitions, which are split according to the selection rule for Cn, Cnv or Cs site symmetries. The experimental Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters (Ω2 and Ω4), radiative (Arad) and non-radiative (Anrad) decay rates, and R02 for the europium complexes have been determined and compared. The highest value of Ω2 (61.9 × 10−20 cm2) was obtained to the complex with PTSO ligand, indicating that Eu3+ ion is in the highly polarizable chemical environment. The higher values of the experimental quantum yield (q) and emission quantum efficiency of the emitter 5D0 level (η) for the Eu-complexes with DMSO, DBSO and PTSO sulfoxides suggest that these complexes are promising Light Conversion Molecular Devices (LCMDs). The lower value of quantum yield (q = 1%), for the hydrated complex [Eu(DBM)3(H2O)], indicates that the luminescence quenching occurs via multiphonon relaxation by coupling with the OH-oscillators from water molecule coordinated to rare earth ion. The pure red emission of the Eu-complexes has been confirmed by (x, y) color coordinates.
