Luminescence and Crystal Field Parameters of the Na₃[Eu(ODA)₃]·7H₂O Complex in Single Crystalline State

Luminescence spectrum of Na3[Eu(ODA)3]·7H2O (ODA≡oxydiacetato) was measured at various temperatures. The characteristic band splitting within 5D0→7FJ (J = 1, 2, 3 and 4) were phenomenologically simulated by using crystal field theory. The set of crystal field parameters reproduces the emission lines in a satisfactory manner with a rms deviation of 21.4 cm-1. It leads the reliable assignment of the luminescence bands and the energy level scheme of 7FJ (J = 1, 2, 3 and 4) multiplets.
