Thermochromism of Highly Luminescent Photopolymer Flexible Films Based On Eu (III) Salts Confined in Polysulfone

Here we discuss the influence of two different cations on the emissive properties of the highly emissive [Eu(fod)<sub>4</sub>]<sup>−</sup> anion. The studied Eu(III) salts were [C<sub>16</sub>Pyr][Eu(fod)<sub>4</sub>] (<b>1</b>), and the pr...
