[en] We succeeded in synthesis of the novel Eu-based luminophore with almost 100% efficiency of energy transfer from ligands to the lanthanide ion. The luminophores with β- diketonate ligands were characterized by means of optical spectroscopy. Impact of different types of β-diketonates on the quantum yield of luminescence was revealed. A β-diketonate complex exhibiting the highest luminescence quantum yield and prospective for OLED applications was determined. The reasons for decreasing quantum efficiencies for other types of investigated ligands are discussed. (paper)
