Facile synthesis and optical properties of hybrid micro-wires based on Ln(DBM)3·H2O complexes†
Abstract
Novel hybrid micro-wires based on Ln(DBM)3·H2O (DBM = dibenzoylmethanate) complexes were synthesized by a facile re-crystallisation route. Three types of hybrid micro-wires were obtained; Eu(DBM)3·H2O micro-wires (EuDBM-MW), Tb(DBM)3·H2O micro-wires (TbDBM-MW), and Sm(DBM)3·H2O micro-wires (SmDBM-MW). The three samples show corresponding characteristic luminescence, respectively. Moreover,
