Abstract:
The intrinsic white-light-emitting properties of a lanthanide metal-organic framework that approach requirements for solid-state lighting are easily improved by incorporating minute quantities of red-emitting Eu(3+) into the host framework by virtue of the isostructural character of the La(3+) and Eu(3+) compounds and efficient sensitization of ligands toward Eu(3+) ions.

1.3K
Photoluminescence offers a wide range of applications due to its inherent sensitivity and selectivity. This technique allows for both direct and indirect analyses of the analyte. Direct quantitative analysis is possible when the analyte exhibits a favorable quantum yield for fluorescence or phosphorescence. However, an indirect analysis may be feasible if the analyte is not fluorescent or phosphorescent, or if the quantum yield is unfavorable. Indirect methods include reacting the analyte with...

Photoluminescence is a process where a molecule absorbs light energy and re-emits it in the form of light. This phenomenon occurs when a substance absorbs photons, promoting its electrons to higher energy level excited states, followed by a relaxation process in which the electrons return to their original ground state energy levels and emit light. Photoluminescence is widely observed in various materials, including semiconductors, and organic and inorganic compounds.
