Na + was incorporated into red‐emitting CaMoO 4 :Eu 3+ phosphor to form solid solutions and reduce the crystal symmetry. For a fixed Eu 3+ concentration, the luminescent properties as a function of Na + concentrations were systematically studied under near‐ultraviolet (UV) excitation. Enhanced red emission at 613 nm was observed and the strongest intensity was 4.5 times that of the sample without Na + . Differing from the charge‐compensation mechanism, this enhancement was related to the structural distortion and decreasing centrosymmetry. The increased ratios of red emission ( 5 D 0  →  7 F 2 ) to orange ( 5 D 0  →  7 F 1 ) in intensity revealed that the structural adjustment was achieved in the phosphors via the incorporation of Na + .
