CAS 17904-86-8: (1,10-PHENANTHROLINE)TRIS[4,4,4-TRIFLUORO-1-(2-THIENYL)-1,3-BUTANEDIONATO]EUROPIUM(III),98.0%(T)

(1,10-Phenanthroline)tris[4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedionato]europium(III) is a luminescent europium complex that is used in the development of microcapsules for fluorescence microscopy. The (1,10-phenanthroline) ligand is a chelate molecule that can be exchanged with other ligands to change the optical properties of the complex. The fluorescence microscope detects the emitted light at 488 nm and 514 nm wavelengths. The luminescent europium complex emits light when it binds to an organic molecule such as vinyl alcohol or water vapor. Ternary complexes are formed between the europium ion and two different ligands. Optical properties depend on the type of ligands present in these ternary complexes. This product has been shown to have chemical structures that are similar to those
