General Methods: All chemicals were commercial products of reagent grade and were used without further purification. Elemental analyses were performed with a Perkin–Elmer 240C elemental analyzer. UV-Vis absorption spectra were obtained from ethanol solutions with a HP-8453 UV-vis spectrophotometer. PL, EL spectra and quantum yield were recorded on HORIBA JOBIN YVON Fluoro Max-P spectrophotometer. The overall quantum yield (Φ) obtained from spectra on a wavelength scale (nm) were measured according to the approach described by Demas and Crosby[1] by using [Eu(tta)3(phen)] as a reference[2]. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements were carried out in 1.0ⅹ10-3 mol L-1 of substrate in anhydrous degassed DMF containing 0.1 mol L-1 tetrabutyl ammonium perchlorate (n-Bu4NClO4) as a supporting electrolyte. Platinum electrode was used as a counter electrode and carbon electrode was used as a working electrode and Ag / AgCl as a reference electrode. Measurement of quantum yield of [EuZnL(tta)2(μ-tfa)]: The overall luminescent quantum yields (Φ) of [EuZnL(tta)2(μ-tfa)] ( 5.0×10-6 mol L-1 in THF ) was measured by using [Eu(tta)3(phen)] ( 5.0×10-6 mol L-1 in THF, Φref = 36.5% ) as a reference and was calculated according to the well-known method given[1,2]. ? ? n2 Aref I ?ref n2 ref AI ref Here n, A, and I denote the refractive index of solvent, the area of the emission Electronic Supplementary Material (ESI) for Jour
