Abstract Novel ligands, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid bearing several aromatic amines, were synthesized and their chelates with a europium ion were prepared. The lanthanide luminescence of the chelates of 1-aminonaphthalene and 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin was largely enhanced by the energy transfer from the ligand to the europium ion.
