A photoluminescent indium–organic framework with discrete cages and one-dimensional channels for gas adsorption†
Abstract
We have successfully obtained, for the first time, a new heterometallic indium–organic framework (InOF-14) with a functional and luminescent Eu(III) component. Based on the mutually competitive [In(CO2)4] and [Eu2(CO2)4(H2O)4] units, this microporous structure possesses discrete nano-cages and one-dimensional channels for gas adsorption, and simultaneously exhibits excellent luminescence properties.
