This work entails deep red emitting Eu-III based complexes with a variety of ternary beta-diketonate ligands and 1,10-phenanthroline as the ancillary ligand in the system. The solid state structure and spectroscopic analysis has been outlaid in terms of photoluminescence and crystallography. A luminescence quantum efficiency of 50% was obtained for the [tris-(4,4,4-trifluoro-1-chlorophenyl-butanedione)mono-(1,10-phenanthroline)europium(iii)] complexes. Moreover, complexes [tris-(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-heptanedione)mono-(1,10-phenanthroline) europium(iii)] and {[hexa-(benzyl carboxylic acid) bis-(1,10-phenanthroline)di-europium(iii)]-mu-[kappa(2)-O,O '-(benzyl carboxylic acid)](2)} were found to also have quantum yields of 9% and 28% with respective sensitization efficiencies of 85%, 15% and 58%. These results were articulated with crystallographic details pertaining to the nature of coordination and the effect of steric and electronic properties thereof which somewhat impacts the Eu-N bond distances. A symmetry correlation was drawn between the crystallographic data and the photoluminescence data.
