Different metal complexes of Alq 3 (K + , Sr 2+ , Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ) were synthesized by the precipitation method. The characterization of photoluminescence showed that presence of Mg 2+ ion enhances photoluminescence of Alq 3 phosphor. The emission spectra are observed at 560 nm when excited at a wavelength of 440 nm. The phosphor is excited at a longer wavelength in the blue region of small energy, so that it could be used as lamp phosphor. It is observed that the prepared phosphor AlMgq 5 is more suitable than Alq 3. The ionic radii of K + , Sr 2+ , Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ ions are in decreasing order. Therefore, the remarkable properties of AlMgq 5 could be considered as promising materials as opto‐ or optoelectronic materials. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
