Abstract

A new tetraglyme adduct of sodium hexafluoroacetylacetonate [Na(hfa)·tetraglyme] has been synthesized and successfully used, together with the RE(hfa)₃·diglyme (RE = Y, Yb, Er) complexes, in the synthesis of hexagonal phase NaYF₄:Yb³⁺,Er³⁺ upconverting films through a facile sol–gel method.
