Abstract

Europium-doped organic–inorganic hybrid low-melting phosphite glass was prepared from SnCl2, Me2SiCl2, and H3PO3 (phosphonic acid) through the nonaqueous acid–base reaction process. The europium-doped glass melted at 250 °C showed fluorescence with a broad peak at 373 nm due to the 4f6 5d1 → 4f7 transition of Eu2+ ions, whereas no fluorescence from the Eu3+ ions was observed. Almost all of the Eu3+ ions incorporated into the glasses could be successfully reduced to Eu2+ ions at a temperature as low as 250 °C by the strong reducing power of H3PO3.
