The crystal structure of Eu(TFPB)3bpy [TFPB: 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3- butanedione, bpy: 2,2′-bipyridyl] has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and the coordination geometry of Eu atom is a square antiprism. The complex can give the characteristic luminescence of Eu3+ upon UV excitation. CCDC: 224879.
