Conjugated BaI2:Eu(5 at.%) nanocrystalline particles were synthesized decorated with golden nanoparticles (GNP). GNP demonstrated relatively strong hydrophobic effect protecting the surface of the hygroscopic BaI2 from BaI2·H2O phase create the GNP/BaI2 composite – it was sped up. This was explained by the moderation of negative charge in the GNP leading to the repulsion with an electron in the excited Eu2+. The Eu2+ luminescence intensity was dropping upon the GNP content. This was due to the decreased number of Eu2+ ions in the BaI2, most probably, arising from the Au substitution for Ba competing with Eu.
