Europium Fluoride (EuF3)

Compounds including the chlorides, sulfates, and nitrates, are soluble in water or polar organic solvent. Lipophilic europium complexes feature acetylacetonate-like ligands. Europium compounds tend to exist in the trivalent oxidation state under most conditions. These compounds feature Eu(III) bound by 6-9 oxygenic ligands (typically water).
Europium Fluoride is used as a phosphor activator for color cathode-ray tubes and liquid-crystal displays used in computer monitors and televisions employ Europium Oxide as the red phosphor. Several commercial blue phosphors are based on Europium for color TV, computer screens and fluorescent lamps. Europium fluorescence is used to interrogate biomolecular interactions in drug-discovery screens. It is also used in the anti-counterfeiting phosphors in eurobanknotes. A recent (2015) application of Europium is in quantum memory chips which can reliably store information for days at a time; these could allow sensitive quantum data to be stored to a hard disk-like device and shipped around the country.
