Synthesis, photoluminescence and thermodynamics of two lanthanide coordination polymers with 5-nitroisophthalate

An efficient pink luminescent Eu(iii) coordination polymer excited on a blue LED chip

“…The LnCPs are designed and synthesised by self-assembly of a suitable organic ''linker'' with the Ln(III) metal ion into multi-dimensional solids. 7 In addition to their fascinating optical properties, LnCPs possess good chemical and thermal stability 8 with improved mechanical strength. 9 Because of these features, several LnCPs have been used in a range of applications such as sensors 10 and full-colour and white LEDs.…”
