Calcium-based efficient cathode-ray scintillating metal–organic frameworks constructed from π-conjugated luminescent motifs

Abstract

Efficient cathode-ray scintillating metal–organic frameworks are constructed from a π-conjugated luminescent motif and light Ca(II) ions. The luminescence self-quenching pathway has been effectively hindered through coordination. In situ vacuum ultraviolet fluorescent spectra have shown the excitons recombining in the scintillation process for the first time.
