Eu and Tb coordination compounds with phenyl-containing carbacylamidophosphates: comparison with selected Ln β-diketonates.

Materials based on Eu and Tb coordination compounds are of great interest due to their strong red and green luminescence. Appropriate selection of ligands plays a huge role in optimizing their photophysical properties. Another very helpful instrument for such optimization is theoretical modelling, which permits the prediction of the emissive properties of materials through intramolecular energy transfer analysis.
