A europium-based metal–organic framework as a high-performance X-ray scintillator

Abstract

A europium-based metal–organic framework (Eu-ndc), constructed from rigid trinuclear Eu3+ clusters and 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate linkers, functions as an efficient X-ray scintillator with intense red radioluminescence. It exhibits an ultralow detection limit of 4.6 μGy s–1, a light yield of 16,546 photons MeV–1, and enables flexible scintillation films for high-resolution X-ray imaging.
