This work reports the synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of new complexes ([Eu(�-diketone)3.2L]) tailored to become biodiesel fluorescent markers. The obtained results attested that these new complexes are potential fluorescent markers for biodiesel fuel. Figure 1 shows emission spectra obtained for the solid compounds. Characteristic Eu3+ lines were observed and J numbers in the figure denote transitions from the 5D0 excited state to the 7FJ lower levels of the Eu3+ 4f6 electronic configuration.
