Abstract: Two ionic liquids with phosphoryl group, 1-butyl-3-(3-diphenylphosphoryl)propyl imidazolium hexafluorophophate([BIMC3P(O)Ph2]PF6, IL-1) and (3-diphenylphosphoryl)-triethylamonium hexafluorophophate([TEAC3P(O)Ph2]PF6, IL-2), were synthesized and characterized by NMR and IR. Their Eu3+complexes, Eu(IL-1)3(NO3)3 and Eu(IL-2)3(NO3)3 were also synthesized. Thermal analysis shows that both ionic liquids have excellent thermal stability than their Eu3+ complexes. Upon coordination, the IR absorption of P=O group in ionic liquid complexes moves to a lower wavenumber and the intensities of UV absorption spectra of their complexes are also increased. These results clearly demonstrate that ionic liquids with phosphoryl groups are coordinated to Eu3+ ions. The fluorescence study indicates that there is a sharp and strong emission of characteristic red light of Eu3+ ion. The results show that these Eu3+ complexes are promising photoluminescent materials.
