Abstract
Four new kinds of europium complexes were synthesized and their mechan oluminescent properties were investigated. Out of the four, only europ ium tris(2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone) phenanthroline (Eu(TTA)(3)(phen)) exhibited intense mechanoluminescence. Its spectra were measured and f ound to be essentially the same as that of the photoluminescence, indi cating an identical emitting species. The excitation mechanisms of mec hanoluminescence are also discussed.
