INTRODUCTION
It is well known that europium complexes show strong and narrow red luminescence due to "antenna effect" of ligands and 4f-4f electron transition of Eu(III). Over the past decade, an interest has grown in several europium complexes for practical applications for laser development, electro-optical devices, optical communication amplifiers, new generation of optical storage materials based on hole-burning technique, and probes to detect the local environments in biological systems (1-4). In general, pure europium complexes do not have good thermal and mechanical stabilities and also show poor processing ability. In addition, pure complexes can absorb ...
