Its UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence, as well as the electroluminescence in polymer light-emitting devices (PLEDs) were investigated. The double-layer PLEDs with a configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS (50 nm)/PVK (40 nm)/PFO:PBD (30%):Eu(DBM)3(BuOXDPhen) (1-8 wt %) (80 nm)/Ba (4 nm)/Al (150 nm) were fabricated. Saturated red europium(III) ion emission, based on the 5D0→7F2 transition, is centered at a wavelength of 614 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 10 nm. The highest external quantum efficiency of 1.26% photons per electron at current density of 0.63 mA/cm2, with maximum brightness of 61.2 cd/m2 at 144.7 mA/cm2, was achieved in the double-layer PLEDs. The results indicate that an introduction of oxadiazole groups into phenanthroline ligand can improve the performance of its europium complex doped PLEDs.

Europium(III) complexes are a good candidate in OLEDs because of extremely pure red emission 25 30 35 40 due to the 5D0→7F2 transition from central trivalent europium(III) ion [2]. At the same time, the theoretical internal quantum efficiency of the europium(III) complexes, in principle, can reach as high as 100% [3]. Furthermore, changi
