The paper considers the possibilities for mechanochemical synthesis of rare earth complexes. The complex Eu(TTA)(3)center dot phen (HTTA - 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone, phen - 1,10-phenanthroline) is synthesized by mechanical treatment of a mixture of EuCl3.6H(2)O, HTTA, phen and NaOH in planetary ball mill Pulverisette 7 for 30 min at 800 min(-1). The non reacted starting reagents and reaction side products are separated by treating activated mixture with water-ethanol solution following a procedure proposed in the literature. The elemental composition, X-ray diffraction pattern, IR spectra, optical properties (excitation and emission spectra, luminescence lifetime) and morphology of the mechanochemically synthesized complex are compared with those of the complex prepared from solution by the conventional method. The results confirm close similarity in the molecular structure and identity of the elemental composition, X-ray diffractograms and fluorescence properties of the compounds prepared by both methods.
