The present research work entails the synthesis of one binary and four ternary red light-emitting Eu (III)-based complexes with 3-benzylidene-2,4-pentanedione as the main ligand and 1,10-phenanthroline, bathophenanthroline, neocuproine, and 4,4'-'dimethyl-2,2'-'bipyridyl as auxiliary ligands. The metal-organic framework of the series was elucidated using energy dispersive X-ray analysis, elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance. This Eu (III) series exhibits optimum thermal stability, making them a promising candidate for organic light-emitting diodes.

All the findings of energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, elemental (CHN) analysis, Fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy confirmed the coordination of ligand binding sites with the europium ion. To evaluate the thermal stability, thermogravimetric/difference thermogravimetric measurements were taken that revealed that the synthesized complexes were stable up to 245°C.

Structural analysis of these complexes was executed via elemental, infrared and H-nuclear magnetic resonance analysis, which confirmed that the ligand coordinated to the metal ion through β-ketone and hydroxyl groups of carboxylic acid. Thermal stability of these complexes was investigated by study of thermogravimetric/derivative thermogravimetric analysis.
