has been prepared by the solid-state method. The photoluminescence (PL) properties have been investigated. The XRD patterns are similar to that of CaMoO
4
structure. The excitation spectrum of Ca
4
LaNbMo
4
O
20
exhibits a broad absorption band at 257 nm
which is attributed to the charge transfer states (CTS) of MoO
4
2-
and NbO

3-
complexes. The excitation spectrum of Ca
4
LaNbMo
4
O
20
∶Pr
3+
shows an absorption band centered at 287 nm
which is attributed to the 4f4f5d transition of Pr
3+
. The excitation spectrum of Ca
4
LaNbMo
4
O
20
∶Pr
3+
also shows two weak shoulder absorption bands at about 266 and 320 nm
which are originated the charge transfer states (CTS) of MoO
4
2-
and NbO
4
3-
complexes and the intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) transition of Pr-metal
respectively. The 4f-4f transitions of Pr
3+
are also observed in the region of 420~520 nm. As a result
it can efficiently convert the blue pump light of the Ⅲ-N semiconductor LED into visible wavelength bands. The photoluminescence spectrum of Ca
4
LaNbMo
4
O
20
∶Pr

excited with 452 nm shows the green and red emissions originated of the

(607 nm) transitions of Pr

ions
respectively. At excited with an ultraviolet wavelength of 287 nm
the emission spectrum of Ca
4
LaNbMo
4
O
20
∶Pr
3+
exhibits the broad emission band centered at 490 nm and several sharp emission peaks at 490
536

607 nm. The broad band is belonging to the overlap of the host emission and the 4f5d4f transition of Pr
3+
ions. The sharp emission peaks are attributed to the

complexes to Pr

ions. However
the efficiency of energy transfer is very weak.
