Tris complexes of Ln3+ ions (Ln = La, Ce, Pr), with triphenyl-substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands were studied by optical spectroscopy. Emission of both 5d-4f and 4f-4f transitions was observed for Pr3+ complex. It was found that the strength of the crystal field formed by triphenyl-substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands in tris complexes is comparable to the case of sulfides, and as a result, red luminescence is observed for the Ce3+ compound. The quantum yield of photoluminescence is 20% for the latter. Keywords: 5d-4f-luminescence, ligand field, quantum yield of photoluminescence, Ln3+ ions, cyclopentadienyl ligand.
