The synthesis of novel Eu complexes with 1,3-di(thienyl)propane-1,3-diones as ligands as well as their luminescence properties in different polymers are reported. The new temperature sensitive paints (TSPs) exhibit not only exceptional high temperature sensitivity over a wide range of temperatures but are also characterized by negligible pressure sensitivity and marked photostability. This is why they are outstandingly suitable for applications, e.g. in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics.
