A new luminescent probe based on β- diketonate Eu3+ complex, Eu (TFPB)3AnPy, where AnPy is (1-(anthracen-9-yl)-N-(pyridine-2-ylmethyl) methaneamine and TFPB is benzoyltriluoro acetone was successfully synthesized. The molecular structure of Eu (TFPB)3AnPy determined by SC-XRD show an eight coordination in which Eu3+ is bonded to six oxygen atoms of three TFPB and two nitrogen atoms of the AnPy ligand. The complex could act as a highly sensitive luminescent probe for 1O2 that can be applied in biological systems. |
