“…The thermal stabilities of PM1TPA–Eu– x ( x = 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0), PM1TPA, and Eu‐bpy were evaluated by TGA under nitrogen atmosphere, and the results are shown in Figure (a). The 5% weight loss temperature ( T d % ) of PM1TPA‐Eu‐ x ( x = 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0) is in the range of 306–349 o C, which was higher than that (292 o C) of the model compound ( Eu‐bpy ) and lower than that (363 o C) of PM1TPA . With the content of europium increase, its T d % decrease.…”

“…These antenna ligands can absorb and transfer energy efficiently to the central metal, and the lanthanide complex display the metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer (MLCT) emission. The antenna ligands may be small molecules, polymer backbones, or small molecules that have been incorporated into the polymer backbone …”

A novel carbazole-triphenylamine copolymer-bearing pendant bipyridine PM1TPA and corresponding europium (III) complexed polymer PM1TPA-Eu-x, in which the values of x are 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 representing the molar ratio of bipyridine ligands complexed with Eu(III), were designed and synthesized. Their chemical structures were confirmed by 1 H NMR, FT-IR, and elemental analysis. Both PM1TPA and PM1TPA-Eu shows good solubility in common organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) and CHCl 3 . The 5% weight loss temperature (T d 5% ) of PM1TPA and PM1TPA-Eu-1.0 are 363 o C and 306 o C, respectively. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of PM1TPA-Eu in solution consists of two emission bands, one in the 400-570 nm region and another at 612 nm, corresponding to the emission of polymer main chain and europium complexes, respectively. When the concentration of PM1TPA-Eu-1.0 in THF solution increases, the PL intensity in the 400-570 nm regions became more and more weaker. And only the characteristic emission of europium complex was observed in the solid film, which indicates that the excited energy absorbed by the polymer backbone was efficiently transferred to the europium complexes. Furthermore, nearly monochromatic red electroluminescence from europium complex was observed from the polymeric light-emitting diode using PM1TPA-Eu-1.0 as the emissive layer under 25 V forward bias.

“…The excitation spectra of CMPI-Phen-Eu(TTA) 3 , which is obtained by monitoring at 613 nm, exhibit an asymmetric broad band between 260 nm and 400 nm. The maximum excitation peak at 345 nm is attributed to the π-π* electronic transition of the TTA ligand [17]. The emission spectrum of CMPI-Phen-Eu(TTA) 3 obtained upon excitation at 345 nm shows the characteristic fluorescence emission peaks of Eu(III).…”

Luminescent lanthanide‐doped oxides, nanoparticles, nanocrystals, and coordination complexes are major tools in the fields of optical and laser materials, telecommunications, medical imaging, and fluoroimmunoassays. In particular, coordination complexes are efficient energy converters with high photostability, large ligand‐induced Stokes shifts, and tunable excitation and emission spectra. However, their application as light downshifting materials for solar cells has not yet been widely explored. This third generation solar cell concept enables to increase the efficiency of standard solar cells—such as Si or copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS)—that have low performance for ultraviolet photons. The incorporation of such a converter in solar module encapsulants can provide a cheap and effective way to integrate photon conversion. Here, encapsulants functionalised by photon downshifting coordination complexes have been spin‐coated on silicon solar cells. For all the coordination complexes, an increase of the spectral response of the solar cells is observed in the ultraviolet region. In the best case, a relative increase of 8% of the conversion efficiency of the solar cell is observed. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
