Room-temperature synthesis and luminescence properties of Eu3+/Tb3+-doped La(1,3,5-BTC)(H2O)6

The facile, rapid, and effective synthesis of coordination polymer La(1,3,5-BTC)(H2O)6 has been realized via direct precipitation at room temperature. It is found that the crystal structure is of monoclinic, space group Cc. The doped Eu3+ or Tb3+ ions samples have the same phase and exhibit red and green emissions under UV light excitation, respectively.

La(1,3,5-BTC)(H2O)6 was prepared on a large scale at room temperature, which exhibits 1D ribbonlike strands and 3D network in the structure. Moreover, the La(1,3,5-BTC)(H2O)6 doped with Eu3+/Tb3+ can act as a suitable material for red and green emissions.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
