A terpyridyl-imidazole based europium tris-(β-diketonate) complex as an efficient molecular luminescent thermometer and single component white light emitter via synergy in energy transfer between ligands and Eu3+

A europium tris-(β-diketonate) complex coupled with a terpyridyl-imidazole motif acts as an efficient luminescent thermometer and single component white light emitter via mutual energy transfer among ligands and Eu 3+ .
