The luminescent nanoparticles with Eu(III) ions are reported. Standard nanoparticles are prepared by the reaction of europium chloride with dpp (diphenylphospinic acid) joint ligands. The size-controlled nanoparticles are synthesized by the reaction of Eu(hfa)3(H2O)2 (hfa: hexafluoroacetylacetonate) with bidentate dpbp ligands (dpbp: 4,4'-bis(diphenylphosphoryl)biphenyl) and monodentate ligands (TPPO: triphenylphosphine oxide). Their particle sizes were characterized using TEM and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. Their luminescence properties were estimated by the emission spectra and lifetimes.
