Magnesium tetrakis dibenzoylmethide triethylammonium: A novel blue emitting phosphor

Triboluminescence (TL) is the emission of cold light that is created when materials are fractured. Europium tetrakis dibenzoylmethide triethylammonium (EuD4TEA) is one of the brightest triboluminescent materials that exist.

Description
Summary:Triboluminescence (TL) is the emission of cold light that is created when materials are fractured. Europium tetrakis dibenzoylmethide triethylammonium (EuD4TEA) is one of the brightest triboluminescent materials that exist. However, due to the rising cost of europium, it is becoming very expensive to synthesize. As such, we have begun investigating other elements that can possibly replace europium as the luminescent center. After ruling out other lanthanides, we turned our attention to the alkaline earth metals. This paper will explore the luminescent properties of a new novel blue emitting phosphor: magnesium tetrakis dibenzoylmethide triethylammonium. [Display omitted] •Magnesium tetrakis dibenzoylmethide triethylammonium prepared by solution growth.•Bright blue photoluminescent emission was observed.•Photoluminescent emission peak of 492nm was measured.
