In order to obtain an excellent luminescent material, herein four complexes of Eu(Ⅲ) were synthesized with dibenzoylmethane (DBM), benzoic acid (BA) and phenylacetic acid (PLA) as the anion ligands, and 1, 10-phenanthroline (phen) as the neutral ligand. The complexes Eu(DBM)3phen (1), Eu(DBM)(BA)2phen (2), Eu(DBM)(PLA)2phen (3) and Eu(DBM)2(PLA)phen (4) were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and TG-DTG. In these complexes, the Eu(Ⅲ) ions are bonded to the oxygen atoms of carboxylate (or dibenzoylmethane), and the nitrogen atoms of phen. The TG-DTG analysis indicated that these complexes are thermally stable. Their excitation and luminescence spectra revealed that the complexes emitted the characteristic luminescence of Eu(Ⅲ): 579 nm (5D0→7F0), 589 nm (5D0→7F1), 610 nm (5D0→7F2). The emission peak at ca. 610 nm was the most intensive. The order of their fluorescence intensity was: Eu(DBM)2(PLA)phen (4)>Eu(DBM)(PLA)2phen (3)>Eu(DBM)3phen (1)>Eu(DBM)(BA)2phen (2).
