“…The neutral ligands used for the synthesis were 2,2 0 -bipyridine (bpy) and its derivatives such as 5,5 0 -dibromo-2,2 0 -bipyridine (DBr), 5-bromo-5 0 - (3,4-[ethylenedioxy]thien-2yl)-2,2 0bipyridine (MD), and 5,5 0 -bis (3,4-[ethylenedioxy]thien-2-yl)-2,2 0bipyridine (DD). [24] The fundamental purpose of our work was to study the electronic effects of mono and di-substituted 2,2 0 -bipyridine derivatives on the optoelectronic and photoluminescence features of the prepared complexes. Ternary Eu(III) complexes have been used as red phosphors in the fabrication of white LEDs due to their wide excitation bands, large quantum yield, and high colour purity.…”
