Synthesis, X-ray structure and luminescent properties of Sm^3＋ ternary complex with novel heterocyclic β-diketone and 1,10-phenanthroline （Phen）

A new neutral ternary samarium complex Sm（Phen）HL3 in which Phen is 1,10-phenanthroline and HL is （1,3-bis（1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl）-1,3-propanedione） was synthesized. Molecular structure of this complex was determined by X-ray diffraction. Under UV-light this complex is demonstrated bright red luminescence （λmax=647 nm）, which was corresponding to the electric dipole 4G5/2→6H9/2 transition in Sm3＋ ion. UV-absorption, excitation and emission spectra of the title compound were investigated.
