White light emission based on a single component Sm(iii) framework and a two component Eu(iii)-doped Gd(iii) framework constructed from 2,2′-diphenyl dicarboxylate and 1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]-phenanthroline†
Abstract
New 1D lanthanide–organic frameworks, [Ln(dpdc)1.5(IP)(H2O)]n (Ln = Sm 1, Eu 2, Gd 3; dpdc = 2,2′-diphenyldicarboxylate and IP = 1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]-phenanthroline), were synthesized. White light emission was realized by two approaches: a single component Sm(III) framework and a two-component Eu(III)-doped Gd(III) framework.
